Necessary Beings: An Essay on Ontology, Modality, and the Relations Between Them
Hale, Bob (Sheffield University)
Bob Hale presents a broadly Fregean approach to metaphysics, according to which ontology and modality are mutually dependent upon one another. He argues that facts about what kinds of things exist depend on facts about what is possible. Modal facts are fundamental, and have their basis in the essences of things--not in meanings or concepts.
