  • Mere Possibilities

    Metaphysical Foundations of Modal Semantics

    by Robert Stalnaker ...
    Series series Carl G. Hempel Lecture Series
    It seems reasonable to believe that there might have existed things other than those that in fact exist, or have existed. But how should we understand such claims?
