Takashi Yagisawa argues for a new version of modal realism, the view that non-actual possible worlds and individuals are as real as the actual ones. The notion of reality is primitive; existence is a relation between a thing and a domain; worlds are modal indices for truth; ordinary objects are extended in spatial, temporal, and modal dimensions.
