  • Lewis on Existence and Actual Existence

    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Christopher Hughes
    Abstract David Lewis holds that only some of the things that exist actually exist. He concedes that this is, on the face of it, an incredible view, but he argues that if we do enough philosophy, we can come to see that it is true. I examine and evaluate Lewis’s arguments to that effect.
