Relative Necessity Extended.

When we talk about possibility and necessity we might mean any of a wide range of different kinds of modality, for example, logical modality, physical modality, or epistemic modality, to name just a few. One natural way to understand the relation between different kinds of possibility and necessity is that some are relativizations of others. Hale and Leech (2017) [4] propose a new formalization of relative necessities, but that proposal is restricted to alethic, non-epistemic necessities. In this paper I explore the prospects for extending the account to non-alethic and epistemic necessities.
