Extensionalism
Soft reduction of modality is sketched. It is a metaphysical position according to which modal facts are just as real and objective as temporal facts. Various kinds of possibility are distinguished. Some theories of how ‘that’-clauses designate propositions are discussed and rejected. A Russellian alternative is proposed.
Keywords: intensional, possible world, reduction, Russellian, ‘that’-clause
