David Kellogg Lewis' possible worlds
ŠTORKÁNOVÁ, Radka
This bachelor thesis deals with philosophical theory of possible worlds which are on the border between logic and metaphysics. The aim of the thesis is to introduce and critically evaluate modal realism of the American philosopher David Kellog Lewis. At first the thesis defines what the possible worlds are and what their use is. In this case basis can be already found in pre-philosophical intuition regarding possibility. The next section focuses on the central points of Lewis' understanding of possible worlds. His greatly original concept, including the fact that other possible worlds exist as well as ours, naturally brings many difficulties. The nature of these problems is discussed in the last section.
