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

8320	Does every abstract possible world exist in every possible world? [Lowe]
	Full Idea: Possible worlds, conceived of as abstracta, surely exist 'in every possible world'.
	From: E.J. Lowe (The Possibility of Metaphysics [1998], 12)
	A reaction: A possible very infinite regress, if a particular possible world is distinguished from another only by being perceived from Actual Word 1 or Actual World 2.. How many possible worlds are there? The standard answer is 'lots', rather than infinity.
