Possible Worlds and Modal Realism (explained and debated)
Join George and John as they discuss and debate different philosophical ideas, today they will be looking into the ideas of possible worlds as well as the metaphysical theory of Modal Realism. Possible worlds are often used by philosophers to understand possible from necessary truths as well as to ponder counterfactuals. Philosophers have however questioned the ontological status of possible worlds themselves. Modal realism believes every possible world actually exists as a concrete real world, and so every possibility, every possible state of affairs that could exist does actually exist in some possible world. Watch as possible worlds and modal realism is explained and debated.
