- Title
Necessitism and Unrestricted Quantification.
- Authors
Conde, Violeta
- Abstract
As Williamson puts it, 'necessitism' is the metaphysical view that claims that "necessarily everything is necessarily something". As that claim involves modal unrestricted quantification, the necessitist must accept it as a part of an intelligible discourse. Here, I present one of the main objections that have been presented against the intelligibility of unrestricted quantification: the objection based on the so-called All-in-One Principle. I then propose possible strategies that the necessitist could adopt to shield themselves from the objection.
