David Jakobsen is Associate Professor in Information Science at Aalborg University. He holds a PhD in the history and philosophy of tense-logic, with a focus on Arthur Norman Prior's contributions to analytic philosophy. His research centers on future contingency, tensed ontology, and the role of tense-logic in analytic philosophy. He is currently investigating the historical and philosophical significance of tense-logic for the development of philosophical theology within the analytic tradition.
Max Cresswell (1939–2024) was a PhD student of Arthur Norman Prior. His research deals with the philosophy of logic, modal logic and formal semantics. He has published on ancient Greek philosophy, logic in the nineteenth century, and the philosophy of John Locke. Together with George Edward Hughes, Cresswell was the co-author of An Introduction to Modal Logic (Methuen, 1968), the first modern textbook on modal logic.
