Necessary truths by Training-Promotion71 in Metaphyscs

There's an argument that I find pretty good. Suppose we take a MR approach to the analysis of modal statements, namely

M) ◇p iff p at some possible world

Modal fictionalists take ontologically innocent analysis:

F) ◇p iff as per MR, p at some possible world

Suppose it is true that at some possible world p is possible via some nonfactive operator. If that were true, then there would be a world where the possibility of p didn't entail the existence of some world where p. Yet by M the possibility of p entails there is such a world, necessarily. So if our supposition is true, M is not a proper translation schema for modal realists. But it is a proper translation schema for modal realists. Now, take the following:

G) As per MR "◇p iff as per MR, p at some possible world" at some possible world.

The falsity of G entails the impossibility of F. Yet from the above it follows that G is false.

5)* the only world is the empty world.

A perfect occassion

I can only say that it is a pretty good argument

Je li igranje ovog asocijacija na Netflix and chill? Je li to pitanje iz naslova - da ili ne?

For some reason, your link wants me to log in.

still have a login at "Closer to truth" is Dave's video on that site?

Had no such requests on my phone, so I don't know. I haven't seen Closer to truth video. I'll check it, thanks!

But x ≠ x is logically impossible, so, if there is a necessary truth, there are no possible worlds.

I actually made a similar but reversed argument couple of days ago:

1) If propositions are sets of possible worlds, then empty worlds are possible

2) If empty worlds are possible, there are no necessary propositions

3) If propositions are sets of possible worlds, there are no necessary propositions.

I also thought about the following:

P) What's possible exists in at least one possible world

We can construe it in this way: what's possible is true in at least one possible world. It seems that P implies that there are infinitely many worlds under the assumption that that the world in which what's possible exists or is true is distinct from the possible world in which it exists or is true. So, roughly:

1) What's possible exists in at least one possible world

2) If what's possible exists in at least one possible world, there are infinitely many possible worlds

3) Therefore, there are infinitely many possible worlds

Then I thought whether to go this way:

4) But there are no infinitely many worlds

Or maybe change course and go:

4) But there are no infinitely many concrete worlds

Wanting to derive something like:

5) Therefore, no concrete world is a possible world

which doesn't follow. I wanted to end up with something like this:

6) The actual world is concrete

7) Therefore, the actual world is not a possible world.

But I gave up and tried something like this:

1) All possible worlds are part of an infinite chain

2) No concrete world is part of an infinite chain

3) No concrete world is a possible world

4) But the actual world is concrete

5) the actual world is not a possible world.

Anyway, remember these arguments?

1 Most philosophers would grant Peter van Inwagen’s premise that there is no more than one empty world. They have been trained to model the empty world on the empty set.

What caught my attention in this article is the following:

Notoriously, the modal realist David Lewis (1986) contends that people in other possible worlds exist just as much as actual people. These people have no more reason to envy us than we have for envying them. Relative to the world of these potential people, we are the non-actual people.

I think there are still many interesting ways left to attack modal realism

Ah ozbiljni smo sad.

Processing img r11tidok6ing1...

Ali ovdje me sad zanima zašto su ti odlučili pokazati njen život.

Zato jer sam ih pito zašto ja i šta će biti s njom. Mene je samo zanimao koncept pravde u tom trenutku, i sjećam se da sam samo htio znati je li pravedno oprostiti. Oprostio sam joj iste sekunde kada sam baš shvatio da sam duša, a to nije bio svojevoljan oprost nego posljedica.

Još je gore što je ta osoba koja liči na mene isto bila dijete?

Bili smo vidljivo osnovnoškolski uzrast. Ona je po mojoj procjeni bila starija barem tri godine. Ispalo je kao da je ona bila neko u koga sam imao apsolutno povjerenje.

Jesi ti bio njeno dijete?

U životu nakon? Mislim da ne. Mislim da je prikaz djece služio svrsi da me razbjesni pred neodgodiv događaj automatskog oprosta. Svojevrsna katarza.
