The alethic and the boulomaic

From an online study of Grammar in Korean:

"Four types of logical modality were described by von Wright (1951),
namely

1. alethic,

2. epistemic (including 'doxastic')

3. deontic and

4. existential modality.

This system was further enlarged
by Rescher (1968), who added

5. temporal (or chronological)

5. boulomaic, or bouletic.

6. evaluative,

7. causal and

8. likelihood modalities13.
