Essays in the metaphysics of modality

This volume collects the most important articles on the metaphysics of modality by philosopher Alvin Plantinga. The book chronicles Plantinga´s thought from the late 1960´s to the present. Platinga is here concerned with fundamental issues in metaphysics: what is the nature of abstract objects such as possible worlds, properties, propositions, and such phenomena?; Are there possible but non-actual objects?; And can objects that do not exist exemplify properties?In this book, Plantinga addresses these and many other questions that continue to preoccupy philosophers in the field. This volume should remain a source of critical contention and keen interest among philosophers of metaphysics and philosophical logic for years to come.
