I’m so sad to learn that Max Cresswell has passed away. https://dailynous.com/2024/09/24/max-cresswell-1939-2024/
Max had been a supportive mentor and an inspiration to me ever since I first met him at an Australasian Association for Logic conference many many years ago. When I was writing my Introduction to Substructural Logics, Hughes and Cresswell’s New Introduction to Modal Logic was a model and an example of what I was aiming for. (Routledge’s design for the cover was also an explicit homage.) Max was unfailingly supportive and encouraging, whenever our paths crossed.
My condolences to his partner Adriane Rini, and all who were close to him. He will be sorely missed.
@consequently Max passing away is very sad. He was always a joy to see at the NZ and Aus philosophy and logic events.
I hadn’t made the connection between the cover art on those two books. That’s very nice!
@consequently I never met him personally, although I did see him speak once at a conference. But I learned modal logic from his book with Hughes and he was a huge influence on the philosophers and logicians I spent time with during my undergrad at Victoria University of Wellington. A sad loss.
