Description

The Construction of Logical Space by Agustín Rayo

This book explores how our understanding of logical space is shaped by our acceptance or rejection of "just is"-statements, which assert that certain conditions are necessary for something to exist. Rayo argues that this conception of logical space has significant implications for metaphysical possibility and the nature of mathematical truth.

Rayo develops a novel approach to philosophy, one that seeks to articulate a conception of possibility independent of non-modal concepts, and offers a new perspective on the foundations of mathematics.
