| Summary: | This volume is a collection of essays on new perspectives on the philosophy of David Lewis. The main topics under discussion come from major areas of analytic philosophy: metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, language, and ethics. Specifically, the chapters discuss the metaphysics and epistemology of modality, the status of grounding, the significance of Humean supervenience, the role of conceptual analysis, naturalness and properties, semantics, the history of the counterfactual theory of causation, Lewis's views in ethics, and his account of time travel. The authors draw from Lewis's recently published correspondence to support their interpretation of his philosophy and his place in the history of analytic philosophy. This volume will expand on scholarship on Lewis and further his influence on current debates
