%0 Journal Article %J Organon F %D 2018 %T Cross-World Comparatives for Lewisians %A Michels, Robert %K comparatives %K counterpart theory %K David Lewis %K John Divers %K modal realism %K modality %X 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. %B Organon F %V 25 %P 368-391 %G English %U http://www.klemens.sav.sk/fiusav/doc/organon/2018/3/368-391.pdf %9 State %2 Articles %3 368391
