Incongruent counterparts and modal relationism
International Studies in the Philosophy of Science 13 (1):53 – 68 (1999)
| Abstract | Kant's argument from incongruent counterparts for substantival space is examined; it is concluded that the argument has no force against a relationist. The argument does suggest that a relationist cannot give an account of enantiomorphism, incongruent counterparts and orientability. The prospects for a relationist account of these notions are assessed, and it is found that they are good provided the relationist is some kind of modal relationist. An illustration and interpretation of these modal commitments is given. | |||||||||
