From Possibility to Properties? Or from Properties to Possibility?
This paper contrasts two metaphysical accounts of modality and properties: Modal Realism which treats possible entities as primitive; and Strong Dispositionalism in which metaphysical possibility and necessity are determined by actually existing dispositions or powers. I argue that Strong Dispositionalism loses its initial advantages of simplicity and parsimony over Modal Realism as it is exten...

متن کاملProving Possibility Properties
A method is described for proving “always possibly” properties of specifications in formalisms with linear-time trace semantics. It is shown to be relatively complete for TLA (Temporal Logic of Actions) specifications.
متن کاملSome normative properties of possibility distributions ∗
In 2001 Carlsson and Fullér introduced the possibilistic mean value, variance and covariance of fuzzy numbers. In 2002 Fullér and Majlender introduced the notations of crisp weighted possibilistic mean value, variance and covariance of fuzzy numbers, which are consistent with the extension principle. In this paper we will show some (normative) properties of possibility distributions.
متن کاملSymmetry & Possibility: To Reduce or not Reduce?∗
In this paper I examine the connection between symmetry and modality from the perspective of ‘reduction’ methods in geometric mechanics. I begin by setting the problem up as a choice between two opposing views: reduction and non-reduction. I then discern four views on the matter in the literature; they are distinguished by their advocation of distinct geometric spaces as representing ‘reality’....
