Counterpart theory and modal realism aren’t incompatible

摘要

Jim Stone has recently argued that counterpart theory and modal realism are incompatible. His argument relies on a particular modal claim about the nature of the Lewisian pluriverse: I argue that the person who believes in counterpart theory and modal realism ought not to accept this claim though. I conclude that Stone has not shown that counterpart theory and modal realism are incompatible.
