David K. Lewis

    28 de septiembre de 1941 – 14 de octubre de 2001

    David Kellogg Lewis fue un influyente filósofo del siglo XX cuyo trabajo impactó profundamente la filosofía del lenguaje, la mente, la metafísica, la epistemología y la lógica. Es quizás mejor conocido por su controvertida postura del realismo modal: la idea de que existen infinitos universos paralelos, cada uno concreto y causalmente aislado, siendo el nuestro solo uno de ellos. Estos universos sirven como mundos posibles en el análisis de la necesidad y la posibilidad. El legado de Lewis radica en su pensamiento original y su profunda exploración de la naturaleza de la realidad.
