Parker's Pensées Ep. 146 - David Lewis's Possible Worlds w/Dr. Barry Lam
In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Barry Lam, associate professor of philosophy at Vassar College, and host of the philosophy podcast, Hi-Phi nation. Barry recently released a four-part mini series on the life and work of philosopher David Lewis and in our conversation we focus in on Lewis's unique view of possible worlds. Lewis sought a reductive view of modality by positing that all possible worlds are actual, that they are all concrete like ours but causally disconnected.
