In philosophy and logic, 'necessarily' helps define 'necessary truths' like mathematical principles, which are true in all possible worlds—such as the fact that a triangle's angles always sum to 180 degrees in Euclidean geometry. This concept was pivotal in the work of 20th-century philosopher Saul Kripke, who revolutionized modal logic by showing how necessities can be rigid and unchanging across realities.
