Reviews

A marvellously presented book: it is lucid, thought-provoking, and meets the highest standards of argument. - Philosophical Quarterly A must-read for anyone interested in the metaphysics of modality. It explores fundamental topics with depth and subtlety, yet it is, for the most part, easy to read. The style of presentation is informal, at times irreverent, and always engaging. - Philosophical Books Melia succeeds in producing a book that manages to provide an accessible introduction to many key topics in the philosophy of modality; to give a sense of how different topics are connected to each other; and to offer some interesting new contributions to current debates. - Mind
