Modal Nominalism

Modal Nominalism is a philosophical view that denies the existence of abstract entities like possible worlds or necessary properties. Instead, it holds that discussions about what is possible or necessary are grounded solely in concrete, actual objects and their features. In simple terms, modal nominalists believe that statements about possibility or necessity do not refer to a separate realm of abstract things but are just ways of talking about real things and how they could or must be in different situations. This approach emphasizes a more tangible, concrete understanding of modal concepts, avoiding reliance on mysterious or non-physical entities.
