“…4 Most other philosophers who work with possible worlds take some form of the Equivalence Principle to be such a truism that they rarely bother to explicitly endorse it, much less attempt to derive it. This is true, for example, of almost all of the abstractionists about possible worlds, such as Adams (1974), Plantinga (1974, 44-46), Stalnaker (1976), Chisholm (1981), Pollock (1984), Prior (1968), andSider (2002, 299). A notable exception is the attempted derivation in Plantinga (1985) though, unfortunately, his attempt failed in various ways.…”
