Between Them, The Papers Address Fundamental Questions Concerning Realism And Anti-realism About Modality, The Nature And Basis Of Facts About What Is Possible And What Is Necessary, The Nature Of Modal Knowledge, Modal Logic And Its Relations To Necessary Existence And To Counterfactual Reasoning.
