possible worlds theory
Possible worlds theory is a way of thinking about truth and reality by considering all the different ways the world could be. Each "possible world" is like a complete, hypothetical version of reality—some might be exactly like ours, others very different. When we evaluate whether a statement is true, we consider if it holds true across these various scenarios. This approach helps us analyze ideas like necessity, possibility, and belief by examining how they behave in different potential worlds, providing a structured way to understand how things might or might not be true depending on context or conditions.
