Jessica Leech sets out a Kant-inspired theory of modality, i.e. possibility and necessity. She argues that we need logical modal concepts as a condition on our ability to think, and metaphysical modal concepts as a condition on our ability to think about the world. Necessity has its source in the laws of thought and the conditions of thought.
