Modal realism says that non-actual possible worlds and individuals
are as real as the actual world and individuals. Takashi Yagisawa
defends modal realism of a variety different from David Lewis's
theory. The notion of reality is left primitive and sharply
distinguished from that of existence, which is proposed as a
relation between a thing and a domain. Worlds are postulated as
modal indices for truth on a par with times, which are temporal
indices for truth. Ordinary individual objects are conceived as
being extended in spatial, temporal, and modal dimensions, and
their transworld identity is explicated by the closest-continuer
theory. Impossible worlds and individuals are postulated and used
to provide accounts of propositions, belief sentences, and
fictional discourse.
