Modal Realism and Modal Tense
Modal realists should use the modal analogs of tenses in their official language of theorizing on modal metaphysics and epistemology. Doing do will enable them to respond to a variety of objections in a simple unified fashion. Objections to modal realism by Skyrms, Quine, Peacocke, and van Inwagen are neutralized by means of modal tenses.
