Although the notion of an impossible world is not novel, several misunderstandings and misrepresentations have resulted in philosophical confusion. To avoid such confusion, the analysis here differentiates between the logical, semantic, epistemological, and metaphysical roles of impossible worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book's central hypothesis is that an understandable taxonomy of extreme positions about impossible worlds is required; it is not easy to hold the middle ground without taking the extreme positions seriously. These positions are compared in order to draw important lessons for logic, epistemology, and metaphysics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Extent of Impossibility\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading for scholars in philosophy and especially for scholars and researchers focusing on metaphysics, logic and epistemology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2025-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031991233\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-99124-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 120\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44309925429388,"sku":"9783031991233","price":40.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031991233.jpg?v=1776874745","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031991233","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
