In logic, normal modal logic is a set L of modal formulas such that L contains:

  • All propositional tautologies;
  • Kripke's schema: .

Moreover, L is closed under:

  • Substitution;
  • Detachment rule: from A and AB infer B;
  • Necessitation rule: from A infer .

The modal logic with just the above features is called K. Normal modal logic is a proper extension of the propositional calculus.
