Standard semantic theories exploit the Leibnizian metaphor of a set of all possible worlds: a proposition might or must be true if it is true in some or all possible worlds. The actualist, who believes that nothing exists except what ... Read more

More recent deflationary theories claim that truth has no nature at all; the concept of truth is of no real philosophical importance. In this concise and clearly written book, Lynch argues that we should reject ... Read more

  • Modal Logic as Metaphysics

    by Timothy Williamson ...
    Are there such things as merely possible people, who would have lived if our ancestors had acted differently? Are there future people, who have not yet been conceived?
