A famous result, conjectured by G��del in 1932 and proved by McKinsey and Tarski in 1948, says that $��$ is a theorem of intuitionistic propositional logic IPC iff its G��del-translation $��'$ is a theorem of modal logic S4. In this paper, we extend an intuitionistic version of modal logic S1+SP, introduced in our previous paper (S. Lewitzka, Algebraic semantics for a modal logic close to S1, J. Logic and Comp., doi:10.1093/logcom/exu067) to a classical modal logic L and prove the following: a propositional formula $��$ is a theorem of IPC iff $\square��$ is a theorem of L (actually, we show: $��\vdash_{IPC}��$ iff $\square��\vdash_L\square��$, for propositional $��,��$). Thus, the map $��\mapsto\square��$ is an embedding of IPC into L, i.e. L contains a copy of IPC. Moreover, L is a conservative extension of classical propositional logic CPC. In this sense, L is an amalgam of CPC and IPC. We show that L is sound and complete w.r.t. a class of special Heyting algebras with a (non-normal) modal operator.
