Abstract

Este trabajo presenta la idea de un único pluriverso en vez de una pluralidad de mundos posibles como explicación de los hechos modales. Primero, se expone la idea y motivaciones de una oración de pluriverso en el contexto de una teoría lingüística de la modalidad. Luego se defiende una concepción de los hechos modales dependiente de universales, en la que los mundos posibles deben ser entendidos como universales estructurales máximos. Aquí, el universal de pluriverso es una única propiedad que determina la totalidad del espacio modal. Cada forma en que el mundo podría ser es representada en el universal de pluriverso como una cláusula disyuntiva en el universal. Finalmente, el trabajo presenta una dificultad fundamental para el universal de pluriverso como explicación metafísica de la modalidad, pues éste parece requerir un dominio previo de objetos actuales y meramente posibles. This work presents the idea of a unique pluriverse instead of a plurality of possible worlds as an explanation of modal facts. First we state the idea and motivations of a pluriverse sentence in the context of a linguistic theory of modality. Then we defend a conception of modal facts dependent on universals in which possible worlds should be understood as maximal structural universals. Here the pluriverse universal is one single property determining the totality of the modal space. Each way the world might be is represented in the pluriverse universal as a disjunct in the universal. Finally, we explain a main difficulty for the pluriverse universal as a metaphysical explanation of modality: it seems to require a previous domain of actual and merely possible objects
