QUINEAN WORLDS: POSSIBILIST ONTOLOGY IN AN EXTENSIONALIST FRAMEWORK.
In "Propositional Objects" Quine sketched a construction of possible worlds that is consistent with his extensionalism. If this construction succeeded, the extensionalist would be able to make good sense of intensional notions and objects. However, Quine ended up rejecting the proposal due to the pr...

If this construction succeeded, the extensionalist would be able to make good sense of intensional notions and objects. However, Quine ended up rejecting the proposal due to the problem of "trans-world identity". In this paper I start by reviewing Quine's construction and suggesting some modifications. I then defend it against Quine's objection. I also defend it against two more general objections raised by David Lewis. I conclude that this is the modal metaphysics an extensionalist such as Quine should adopt. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Grazer Philosophische Studien is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
