Summary: | Modality is a vast phenomenon. In fact, it is arguably a plurality of phenomena. Within it, one type of modality warrants distinctive interest in philosophy and, in particular, in metaphysics. In view of this, Section 2 of this Element is devoted to modality as a general phenomenon; different types of modalities are distinguished, and the question of unification is raised. Following this, Section 3 is focused on metaphysical modality: the type of modality that is of distinctive interest in metaphysics, and thus for this Elements series. In Section 3, the overarching question is about the source of metaphysical modality, and the discussion here informs, and it informed by, the question of unification discussed in Section 2--back cover. |
