So, for Possible world semantics, of course, uses the concept of a possible world to give substance to the idea of alternative extensions and alternative domains of quantification. (Possible world semantics can be traced most clearly back to the work of Carnap (1947), its basic development culminating in the work of Hintikka (1957, 1961), Bayart (1958, 1959), and Kripke (1959, 1963a, 1963b). [ 5 ] ) Possible worlds semantics (PWS) is a family of ideas and methods that have been used to analyse concepts of philosophical interest. PWS was originally focused on the important concepts of necessity and possibility. This chapter discusses the philosophical theories and presuppositions of applying possible worlds semantics in order to draw conclusions about matters involving what are called conceptual or broadly logical possibilities and necessities.

Hintikka, Kanger and Kripke provided semantics for modal operator logics, while nothing similar seemed available for the predicate approach. Ever since possible-worlds semantics has reigned as the main tool in the analysis of necessity and the notions mentioned above. Today sacrificing Today sacrificing possible-worlds semantics for the predicate conception of necessity etc. would mean sacrificing a huge body of philosophical logic and of analytic metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and computer science.Nevertheless the operator approach suffers from a severe drawback: it restricts the expressive power of the language in a dramatic way because it rules out quantification in the following … POSSIBLE-WORLDS SEMANTICS, FICTION, AND CREATIVITY Arto Mutanen The Finnish Naval Academy Helsinki, Finland arto.mutanen@gmail.com Received: 14 December 2013 In the paper we will study the notions of possible-worlds semantics, fiction, and creativity.
