On the Plurality of Worlds Zusammenfassung

On the Plurality of Worlds David Lewis (Princeton University)

This book is a defense of modal realism; the thesis that our world is but one of a plurality of worlds, and that the individuals that inhabit our world are only a few out of all the inhabitants of all the worlds. Lewis argues that the philosophical utility of modal realism is a good reason for believing that it is true.
