The Worlds of Possibility. Modal Realism and the Semantics of Modal Logic

This is a book about Modal Realism-roughly, the ontological doctrine that our universe (the world we live in) is just one among many possible worlds. My book will supply a detailed exposition of Modal Realism, as well as a thorough examination and evaluation of the principal grounds that have been advanced in support of it. I shall also take up some of the outstanding objections that have been levelled at the view, and I shall assess various criticisms of these objections thrown up by the defenders of Modal Realism.
