About the Book: Modality, Essence and Possible Worlds
This volume includes ten essays written by Prof. Indrani Sanyal in different
phases of her long academic career. Essays collected in this volume document the
authors attempt to negotiate with some of the unmitigated issues frequently
raised, debated and discussed in the domain of Anglo-American Analytic
Philosophy. Viewpoints of some of the major philosophers like W.V.O. Quine, Ruth
Barcan Marcus, Pranab Kumar Sen, David Wiggins and Ludwig Wittgenstein along
with many others have come up for discussion and elaboration. The first six
essays of this volume deal directly with the issues relating to modal logic,
quantification, essence and possible worlds.
