Sustainability and impossible worlds [PDF]
Environment and Planning E, Nature and SpaceThis paper mobilises the idea of impossible worlds to conceptualise and explore inconsistent and illogical visions and ways of living sustainably.

Counterparts and Counterpossibles: Impossibility without Impossible Worlds [PDF]
The Journal of Philosophy, 2022 Standard accounts of counterfactuals with metaphysically impossible antecedents take them to by trivially true.

In this paper, I argue for a particular conception of impossible worlds. Possible worlds, as traditionally understood, can be used in the analysis of propositions, the content of belief, the truth of counterfactuals, and so on. Yet possible worlds are not capable of differentiating propositions that are necessarily equivalent, making sense of the ...
