Hi All,

True or False: Any logically possible world that one can think of actually 
exists.
That was New Jersey philosopher David Kellogg Lewis' proposition, that if one 
could think up such a world it would actually exist.  Metaphysicians such as 
Lewis 
will be missed, Lewis having died on October 14, 2001.  He wrote four books, 
including "Convention: A Philosophical Study" - which won him the Matchette 
Prize in Philosophy for scholars under 40.  He taught at UCLA, and later 
Princeton.  Truly a remarkable metaphysician.

Bye bye!
  Lee
