Actuality, Possibility, and Worlds
ISBN: 9781441145161 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Actuality, Possibility and Worlds is an exploration of the Aristotelian account that sees possibilities as grounded in causal powers. On his way to that account, Pruss surveys a number of historical approaches and argues that logicist approaches to possibility are implausible.
The notion of possible worlds appears to be useful for many purposes, such as the analysis of counterfactuals or elucidating the nature of propositions and properties.

The Principle of Sufficient Reason: A Reassessment
ISBN: 9780521859592 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR) says that all contingent facts must have explanation. In this 2006 volume, which was the first on the topic in the English language in nearly half a century, Alexander Pruss examines the substantive philosophical issues raised by the Principle Reason.
