Worlds and individuals, possible and otherwise

  • 1 Want to read

Takashi Yagisawa argues for a new version of modal realism, the view that non-actual possible worlds and individuals are as real as the actual ones. He asserts that the notion of reality is primitive, existence is a relation between a thing and a domain and ordinary objects are extended in spatial, temporal, and modal dimensions.
