TY - JOUR T1 - Cross-World Comparatives for Lewisians JF - Organon F Y1 - 2018 A1 - Michels, Robert KW - comparatives KW - counterpart theory KW - David Lewis KW - John Divers KW - modal realism KW - modality AB - Divers (2014) argues that a Lewisian theory of modality which includes both counterpart theory and modal realism cannot account for the truth of certain intuitively true modal sentences involving cross-world comparatives. The main purpose of this paper is to defend the Lewisian theory against Divers’s challenge by developing a response strategy based on a degree-theoretic treatment of comparatives and by showing that this treatment is compatible with the theory.
