10. Modality / E. Possible worlds / 2. Nature of Possible Worlds / a. Nature of possible worlds

10466	Maybe possible worlds are just sets of possible tropes [Bacon,John]
	Full Idea: Meinongian tropism has the advantage that possible worlds might be thought of as sets of 'qualitons' and 'relatons' (quality and relational tropes).
	From: John Bacon (Tropes [2008], §3)
	A reaction: You are still left with 'possible' to explain, and I'm not sure that anything is explain here. If the actual world is sets of tropes, then possible worlds would also have to be, I suppose.
