The question of what is possible and what is necessary is a fundamental area of philosophy and philosophical research, and the Routledge Handbook of Modality is an outstanding reference source to the key topics, problems, and debates in this exciting subject. Comprising thirty-five chapters by a team of international contributors, the Handbook is divided into seven clear parts: worlds and modality, essentialism, ontological dependence, and modality; modal anti-realism; epistemology of modality; modality in science; modality in logic and mathematics; and modality in the history of philosophy. Within these sections, the central issues, debates, and problems are examined, including possible worlds, essentialism, counterfactuals, ontological dependence, modal fictionalism, deflationism, the integration challenge, conceivability, a priori knowledge, laws of nature, natural kinds, and logical necessity.

The Routledge Handbook of Modality is essential reading for students and researchers in epistemology, metaphysics, and philosophy of language. It will also be very useful for those in related fields in philosophy such as philosophy of mathematics, logic, and philosophy of science.
