This chapter discusses an extension of modal realism through the concept of impossible worlds, arguing that their concreteness is required for the overall unity of the theory. It revisits the hyperintensional revolution, now framed in terms of impossible worlds, and presents several objections to a concretist account. Despite these objections, the chapter defends the concretist view of possible and impossible worlds.

Extended Modal Realism

  • Martin Vacek

摘要

This chapter discusses an extension of modal realism through the concept of impossible worlds, arguing that their concreteness is required for the overall unity of the theory. It revisits the hyperintensional revolution, now framed in terms of impossible worlds, and presents several objections to a concretist account. Despite these objections, the chapter defends the concretist view of possible and impossible worlds.
