In this thesis we formalize two known variants of natural deduction systems for IS5 along with their corresponding languages. In terms of Kripke semantics, S5 is characterized by models where the accessibility relation is an equivalence relation: it is reflexive, transitive, and symmetric. \(A\) is permissible.
