Description
Modal Logic as Metaphysics is a collection of essays by leading metaphysicians and logicians responding to Timothy Williamson's work on metaphysical modality, with replies from Williamson himself. This thought-provoking book explores the role of modal claims in natural science.
The book was originally published as a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Philosophy and features an original essay by Williamson, 'Modal Science,' which examines the relationship between modal logic and scientific inquiry.
Featuring contributions from prominent figures in the field, this book offers a unique insight into the current state of debate on metaphysical modality. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of logic, philosophy, and science.
