About the Book
Timothy Williamson on Modality, edited by Juhani Yli-Vakkuri, is an essential scholarly contribution to the ongoing philosophical dialogue surrounding one of the most significant thinkers in contemporary metaphysics—Timothy Williamson. Known for his groundbreaking work in logic and metaphysical modality, Williamson has reshaped how philosophers understand possible worlds, necessity, and modal logic through works such as Modal Logic as Metaphysics (2013).
This volume brings together ten thought-provoking essays by leading metaphysicians and logicians who critically engage with Williamson’s ideas on metaphysical modality. These contributions delve deep into core philosophical questions, analyzing and challenging Williamson's theories with intellectual rigor and clarity. The book also includes comprehensive replies by Williamson himself to each essay, creating a dynamic and enlightening exchange between author and critics.
Additionally, the collection features an original essay by Williamson titled ‘Modal Science’, which explores the intriguing relationship between modal logic and the natural sciences—adding a unique dimension to the broader discourse on how possibility and necessity operate beyond philosophy and into empirical investigation.
Originally published as a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Philosophy, this volume serves as both a critical resource and a deep analytical engagement with one of the central figures in analytic philosophy today. Ideal for students, researchers, and academics in the fields of logic, metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of science, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the evolving landscape of modal philosophy.
