David Lewis's untimely death on 14 October 2001 deprived the
philosophical community of one of the outstanding philosophers of
the 20th century. As many obituaries remarked, Lewis has an
undeniable place in the history of analytical philosophy. His work
defines much of the current agenda in metaphysics, philosophical
logic, and the philosophy of mind and language.
This volume, an expanded edition of a special issue of the
Australasian Journal of Philosophy, covers many of the topics for
which Lewis was well known, including possible worlds, counterpart
theory, vagueness, knowledge, probability, essence, fiction, laws,
conditionals, desire and belief, and truth. Many of the papers are
by very established philosophers; others are by younger scholars
including many he taught. The volume also includes Lewis's Jack
Smart Lecture at the Australian National University, "How Many
Lives has Schrodinger's Cat?," published here for the first
time.
Lewisian Themes will be an invaluable resource for anyone studying
Lewis's work and a major contribution to the many topics that he
mastered.
