Thinking the impossible
Philosophical Studies 173 (10):2649-2662 (2016)
Abstract
The article looks at the structure of impossible worlds, and their deployment in the analysis of some intentional notions. In particular, it is argued that one can, in fact, conceive anything, whether or not it is impossible. Thus a semantics of conceivability requires impossible worlds.
