Other worlds: What is the use of worlds beyond the real one?
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
Considering possible worlds beyond the actual one is an enterprise which seems to be indispensable for logic, philosopy and the sciences just as for the arts and literature. The paper discusses why this is so and concludes that though we should not takethe talk of such worlds as a matter of metaphysics, there is a sense in which 'other worlds' are quite indispensable; for there is not even a way to furnish our basic empirical vocabulary with the appropriate semantics without settling their behavior within a rich repertoire of counterfactual claims.
