Description

Explore the foundational concepts of modality in The Nature of Necessity, published by Oxford University Press as part of the Clarendon Library of Logic and Philosophy. This text serves as one of the first full-length studies to emerge from the significant philosophical debates involving Saul Kripke, David Lewis, and Ruth Marcus. Plantinga provides a rigorous exploration and defense of modality de re, investigating the principle that objects possess both essential and accidental properties. By utilizing the framework of possible worlds, the author addresses complex philosophical problems including the nature of essence, transworld identity, and negative existential propositions. This work also examines the existence of unactual objects in other possible worlds, making it a significant resource for students and scholars of logic and philosophy.
