Review of General Psychology, 2018
The reading of fiction has been found to confer benefits, including increased empathy and understanding of others. Among ongoing research questions are those of how people engage in imagined worlds while keeping in touch with the currently perceived world, as well as how far stories were important in human evolution and how the brain is involved ...

Cultural Studies ↔ Critical Methodologies, 2016
The author of this essay activates Bronwyn Davies’s conceptualization of listening as usual and listening emergently, along with Deleuze’s imaginary for ontology, as a means to enter into composition with children’s being and becoming in drawing. In doing so, the author argues for a concept and practice of listening that resonates with the entangled ...

Possible Worlds Theory and Contemporary Narratology
, 2019The notion of possible worlds has played a decisive role in postclassical narratology by awakening interest in the nature of fictionality and in emphasizing the notion of world as a source of aesthetic experience in narrative texts. As a theory concerned

Theoria, 1991
This paper provides an intuitionistic account of possible worlds. The four forms of judgement of Martin-Löf's type theory \[ \begin{alignedat}{2} &A:\text{set } &&\text{ which means\quad \(A\) is a set}\\ &A=B:\text{set}\quad &&\text{ which means\quad \(A\) and \(B\) are equal sets}\\ &a:A &&\text{ which means\quad \(a\) is an element of the set \(A\)}\

Ever since Saul Kripke and others developed a semantic interpretation for modal logic, 'possible worlds' has been a much debated issue in contemporary metaphysics. To propose the idea of a possible world that differs in some way from our actual world – for example a world where the grass is red or where no people exist – can help us to analyse and ...

Possible Worlds, Possible Minds
2020Abstract Across the world and across history, adults have developed widely divergent beliefs about people and their minds and actions, capacities and limits. Yet, these spring from, and depart from, early childhood theories, which are remarkably similar worldwide.

The concept of Possible worlds arises most naturally in the study of possibility and necessity. It is relatively uncontroversial that grass might have been red, or (to put the point another way) that there is a possible world in which grass is red. Though we do not normally take such talk of possible worlds literally, doing so has a surprisingly large ...

Merely Possible Possible Worlds
2012This chapter first sketches a minimal theory of propositions—one that ascribes to propositions just the structure that anyone who is willing to talk of propositions at all must ascribe to them. It extends the minimal theory by adding some assumptions about the modal properties of propositions and possibilities, and then sketches a general model of ...

Abstract According to Leibniz, the actual world, which does exist, is only one of infinitely many possible worlds that could have existed. It is the best of the possible worlds, in the sense that any change in it, when considered with all its necessary preconditions and consequences, would be a change for the worse; and that is why God ...
