Coalgebras and Modal Logic
by Alexander Kurz - ESSLLI , 2002
One of the achievements of the theory of coalgebras is to make clear that some seemingly different areas are related by duality. This text explains this duality. Recent research lead to the insight that modal logic is dual to equational logic.

Mathematics of Modality
