A Critical Introduction to the Metaphysics of Modality examines the
eight main contemporary theories of possibility behind a central
metaphysical topic. Covering modal skepticism, modal expressivism,
modalism, modal realism, ersatzism, modal fictionalism, modal
agnosticism, and the new modal actualism, this comprehensive
introduction to modality places contemporary debates in an
historical context. Beginning with a historical overview, Andrea
Borghini discusses Parmenides and Zeno; looks at how central
Medieval authors such as Aquinas, and Buridan prepared the ground
for the Early Modern radical views of Leibniz, Spinoza, and Hume
and discusses advancements in semantics in the later-half of the
twentieth century a resulted in the rise of modal metaphysics, the
branch characterizing the past few decades of philosophical
reflection. Framing the debate according to three main perspectives
- logical, epistemic, metaphysical- Borghini provides the basic
concepts and terms required to discuss modality. With suggestions
of further reading and end-of-chapter study questions, A Critical
Introduction to the Metaphysics of Modality is an up-to-date
resource for students working in contemporary metaphysics seeking a
better understanding of this crucial topic.
