Lewisian Themes

David Lewis's untimely death in 2001 deprived the philosophical community of one of the outstanding philosophers of the 20th century. His work defines much of the current agenda in metaphysics, philosophical logic, and the philosophy of mind and language. Frank Jackson and Graham Priest present an expanded edition of a special issue of the Australian Journal of Philosophy, where leading philosophers honour Lewis's achievements and take his ideas in new directions. All of the papers have been specially written, and this book volume adds four extra pieces. Lewisian Themes will be an invaluable resource for scholars working on Lewis's work and a major contribution to the many fields he mastered.
