Possibility offers a new analysis of the metaphysical concepts of
possibility and necessity, one that does not rely on any sort of
'possible worlds'. The analysis proceeds from an account of the
notion of a physical object and from the positing of properties and
relations. It is motivated by considerations about how we actually
speak of and think of objects. Michael Jubien discusses several
closely related topics, including different purported varieties of
possible worlds, the doctrine of 'essentialism', natural kind
terms, and alleged examples of necessity a posteriori. The book
also offers a new theory of the functioning of proper names, both
actual and fictional, and the discussion of natural kind terms and
necessity a posteriori depends in part on this theory.
