      Charles Chihara gives a critical exposition of modal realism, the philosophical doctrine that there exist many possible worlds of which the actual world - the universe in which we live - is just one. Modal realists maintain that philosophers must accept the existence of possible worlds if they wish to have the benefit of using possible-worlds semantics to assess modal arguments and explain modal principles. Chihara challenges this claim, and argues instead for modality without worlds he offers a new account of the role of interpretations or structures of the formal languages of logic.
