It considers one of the most important applications of possible worlds semantics, the account of counterfactual conditionals given in Robert Stalnaker and David Lewis. It then goes on to examine the work of Richard Montague. Montague specified syntactic rules that generate

Possible Worlds Semantics and the Liar

From this principle he derives a contradiction in what he calls
