{"product_id":"plurality-of-worlds-9780631224266","title":"Plurality of Worlds","description":"This book is a defense of modal realism; the thesis that our world is but one of a plurality of worlds, and that the individuals that inhabit our world are only a few out of all the inhabitants of all the worlds. Lewis argues that the philosophical utility of modal realism is a good reason for believing that it is true.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Lewis\u003c\/b\u003e (1941- 2001) was Professor of Philosophy at Princeton University.
