Five Layers of Interpretation for Possible Worlds.
The article identifies possible worlds with certain kinds of sets. The point of the present paper is to highlight the role that interpretation plays in the linguistic ersatzist's theory of possible worlds and, especially, to show how the ersatzist can adopt a form of counterpart theory. Using the em...
