Possibility/Robert Adams: Thesis: Possibility is rather holistic than atomistic in the sense that what is possible is only part of a possible totally determined world.
("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.},
