Stalnaker Robert

Robert Stalnaker is a philosopher known for his work on possible worlds, a concept used to explore different scenarios or realities. He proposed that statements about what could be true involve considering various "possible worlds" where different conditions apply. Stalnaker emphasized the idea of a "context," which shapes how we understand statements about possibilities. His approach helps clarify discussions in logic, language, and epistemology by showing how our beliefs depend on the context we are in, and how we evaluate what could happen in different circumstances.
