("Possible completely determinate world"). >Possible worlds/Adams. Stalnaker: so far, however, our reflections do not imply that any consistent set of propositions is a subset of a world history. For the following (W4) does not follow from them, but must be added as an addition: (W4) Each consistent set is a subset of a maximum consistent set. Possible world/proposition/reduction/Stalnaker: we have two types of reduction: a) Reduction of possible worlds on propositions. b) Reduction of propositions to possible worlds. >Possible worlds/Lewis, >Propositions, >Reduction. The two are not equivalent. Of course, they differ in terms of what is to be the basic concept. >Possible worlds/Adams, >World-story theory.}, note = { Stalnaker I R.
