First, a world w might be impossible because the laws that hold at w are different from those that hold at some other world (say the actual world). Second, a world w might be impossible because the laws of logic that hold in some world (say the actual world) are violated at w. We develop a novel way of modelling logical possibility that makes room for both kinds of logical impossibility. Doing so has interesting implications for the relationship between logical possibility and other kinds of possibility (for example, metaphysical possibility) and implications for the necessity or contingency of the laws of logic.Koji Tanaka is supported by an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship (FT160100360).application/pdfen-AU© 2019 The Authors Nous Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Two Kinds of Logical Impossibiity201910.1111/nous.122812022-02-20Creative Commons Attribution License
