10. Modality / E. Possible worlds / 1. Possible Worlds / e. Against possible worlds

10406	One might hope to reduce possible worlds to properties [Swoyer]
	Full Idea: One might hope to reduce possible worlds to properties.
	From: Chris Swoyer (Properties [2000], 4.1)
	A reaction: [He cites Zalta 1983 4.2, and Forrest 1986] I think we are dealing with nothing more than imagined possibilities, which are inferred from our understanding of the underlying 'powers' of the actual world (expressed as 'properties').
