This collection highlights the new trend away from rationalism and
toward empiricism in the epistemology of modality. Accordingly, the
book represents a wide range of positions on the empirical sources
of modal knowledge. Readers will find an introduction that surveys
the field and provides a brief overview of the work, which
progresses from empirically-sensitive rationalist accounts to fully
empiricist accounts of modal knowledge. Early chapters focus on
challenges to rationalist theories, essence-based approaches to
modal knowledge, and the prospects for naturalizing modal
epistemology. The middle chapters present positive accounts that
reject rationalism, but which stop short of advocating exclusive
appeal to empirical sources of modal knowledge. The final chapters
mark a transition toward exclusive reliance on empirical sources of
modal knowledge. They explore ways of making similarity-based,
analogical, inductive, and abductive arguments for modal claims
based on empirical information. Modal epistemology is coming into
its own as a field, and this book has the potential to anchor a new
research agenda.
