Is what could have happened but never did as real as what did
happen? What did happen, but isn't happening now, happened at
another time. Analogously, one can say that what could have
happened happens in another possible world. Whatever their views
about the reality of such things as possible worlds, philosophers
need to take this analogy seriously. Adriane Rini and Max Cresswell
exhibit, in an easy step-by-step manner, the logical structure of
temporal and modal discourse, and show that every temporal
construction has an exact parallel that requires a language that
can refer to worlds, and vice versa. They make precise, in a way
which can be articulated and tested, the claim that the parallel is
at work behind even ordinary talk about time and modality. The book
gives metaphysicians a sturdy framework for the investigation of
time and modality - one that does not presuppose any particular
metaphysical view.
