Helen Beebee on Possible Worlds

<p>Philosophers often talk about possible worlds. Is this just a way of describing counterfactual situations? As <a href="https://www.research.manchester.ac.uk/portal/Helen.Beebee.html">Helen Beebee</a> explains, some of them believe that possible worlds actually exist. This episode of the <a href="http://www.philosophybites.com">Philosophy Bites</a> podcast is supported by the <a href="http://www.marcsandersfoundation.org/">Marc Sanders Foundation</a> and by Patreon donations. </p>
