Description
Book SynopsisThis controversial work discusses a theory of "plurallism", claiming that there is not merely a plurality of correct theories and world views, but a corresponding plurality of actual worlds. Plurality penetrates deeper than the linguistic surface or than conceptual or theoretical structure.
