Metaphysical Possibility

Metaphysical possibility refers to what could logically exist across all conceivable realities, not just our actual world. It encompasses scenarios that don't contradict fundamental laws of logic or nature. For example, a unicorn is metaphysically possible because there's no logical inconsistency in imagining it, even though no unicorns exist in our world. In the context of modality, which studies necessity and possibility, metaphysical possibility explores the range of what can exist beyond the confines of our current reality, often leading to discussions about alternative worlds and the nature of existence itself.
