Modality (MOD)

We will focus on recent developments in modal metaphysics, clustered around four issues: metaphysical necessity and its relation to absolute necessity, actualism and serious actualism, Lewisian realism, and dispositional accounts of modality.

We will discuss papers published in the last ten or so years by authors including Karen Bennett, Kit Fine, and Bob Stalnaker.

11h - 13h in the Seminari LHiFC.
