Abstract
A nonmonotonic logic can be based on an encoding in classical first order logic [Besnard and Siegel 1988] or it can be based on a conditional logic [Delgrande 1988]. But a widely used approach to nonmonotonic logics is based on modal logics (for an introduction to modal logics see [Lemmon 1977] or [Hughes and Cresswell 1978]), in contrast to default logic and circumscription which do not appeal to modalities at all. This section and those following are devoted to such nonmonotonic logics.
