Welcome to a conversation with Rahul Gandhi, member of the Indian parliament and leader of the opposition.
Possible worlds are total ways the world could have been and have played a crucial role in the metaphysics and logic of modality. Many issues in the philosophy of possible worlds are discussed in terms of the debate between actualists and possibilists. This workshop aims to bring together philosophers working broadly in the metaphysics of modality to discuss the extent to which these issues about possible worlds can be understood and interact with the more recent debate in modal metaphysics between contingentists and necessitists.
