Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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 varietiesof 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 andfictional, and the discussion of natural kind terms and necessity a posteriori depends in part on this theory. Possibility is a philosophical treatise on the metaphysical concepts of possibility and necessity. Jubien rejects the idea of possible worlds, and starts instead the notion of a physical object and the positing of properties and relations. He has new things to say about such topics as essentialism, natural kinds, and proper names. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
