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.
The IUROPA network has announced a call for participation in a four-day workshop that will assist early-career researchers with the uptake of new research tools related to judicial decision-making.
