Lewis's modal realism[edit]
"The modal realism of David Lewis" is, to be precise, a misnomer. Lewis was indeed a realist about possible worlds and claimed that modal talk could be reduced to talk about actual situations in other existing possible worlds. But that, of course, makes him a modal anti-realist, not a modal realist. — Unsigned, by: G.D. / talk / contribs

This theory would probably get more support if it didn't sound like a Marvel comic. SophieWilder 12:56, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- I only found it by searching the whole wiki for "Tegmark". Article could do with a better title - David Gerard (talk) 16:05, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
