D. M. Armstrong adopted fictionalism about these entities in arguing that objects are “aspects of, abstractions from” facts. In that book, Armstrong argues for a “combinatorial” view of these entities. Accessibility relations between these entities can impact truth values in relational semantics. These entities are maximally connected objects in concretist definitions of them, which are opposed by Alvin Plantinga’s (*) abstractionist views. These entities were popularized to provide an extensional semantics to modal logic since modal operators can be regarded as quantifiers over these entities. A “plurality” of these entities exist according to David Lewis. Rigid designators refer to the same thing across all of these entities. For 10 points, Gottfried Leibniz argued that we live in the best of what entities? ■END■
