The book gives metaphysicians a sturdy framework for the investigation of time and modality - one that does not presuppose any particular metaphysical view. Other readers will always be interested in your opinion of the books you've read. Whether you've loved the book or not, if you give your honest and detailed thoughts then people will find new books that are right for them. 1. Curriculum and the Life Erratic: The Geographic Cure.

world-time parallel, or unsure of its real import. For a start, many philosophers don’t like the assumption of other possible worlds. One of the earliest was Arthur Prior, who, in Prior 1957, had already advocated a temporal interpretation of the operators of modal logic. The examples we have chosen here draw out the parallel between tense and modality by setting out a past tense sentence and a sentence about an unrealized possibility. The parallel between tense and modality is itself more general so that, instead of the structure of (5) and (6) we can describe the structure of (3) and (4) by exhibiting more general schemata: (7) it is/was/will be that.

The World-Time Parallel : Tense and Modality in Logic and Metaphysics. Is what could have happened but never did as real as what did happen? What did happen, but isn't happening now, happened at another time. Analogously, one can say that what could have happened happens in another possible world. Whatever their views about the reality of such things as possible worlds, philosophers need to take this analogy seriously.

Is what could have happened but never did as real as what did happen? What did happen, but isn't happening now, happened at another time. Analogously, one can say that what could have happened happens in another possible world. Whatever their views about the reality of such things as possible worlds, philosophers need to take this analogy seriously. Adriane Rini and Max Cresswell exhibit, in an easy step-by-step manner, the logical structure of temporal and modal discourse, and show that every temporal construction has an exact parallel that requires a language that can refer to worlds, and vice versa. They make precise, in a way which can be articulated and tested, the claim that the parallel is at work behind even ordinary talk about time and modality. The book gives metaphysicians a sturdy framework for the investigation of time and modality - one that does not presuppose any particular metaphysical view.
