Description

David Lewis's seminal work presents a forceful argument for a particular view about propositions that express contrary-to-fact conditionals. At its core is his defense of realism about possible worlds, a concept that has had a profound impact on the philosophy of logic and metaphysics.

This influential book, first published in 1973, remains a vital contribution to contemporary philosophical debates. The author's ideas have shaped the way we think about counterfactuals, and this work provides essential reading for anyone interested in these complex concepts.

The book also includes an appendix featuring related writings by Lewis, offering further insight into his thought-provoking arguments.
