Impossible worlds are also gaining currency partly because it is often crucial to make distinctions between necessarily equivalents in so called hyperintensional contexts. Hyperintensionality is commonly handled by adding impossible worlds into more traditional possible worlds based accounts of modal phenomena. As their utility becomes more widely appreciated, we would like to step back for a moment and ask a question about impossible worlds: what?s so impossible about them? What, exactly, makes an impossible world impossible? In literature, three features have been proposed as the key to understanding what makes impossible worlds impossible: logical violation, logical difference and openness. We will show that the notion of logical violation is key to understanding what makes a world impossible. We will then show that if there is anything impossible about logically different worlds and open worlds, this impossibility is best understood in terms of logical violation (though logically different and open worlds need not themselves contain logical violations). Finally, we will outline some challenges facing those seeking to analyse impossibility primarily in terms of logical difference or openness.----------Hi there, michael.nielsen at sydney.edu.au is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
