David Lewis
David Lewis is one of the most important living analytical
philosophers. He has made important contributions to most areas of
metaphysics and much of philosophy of science and language.
His work is based on the project of 'Humean Supervenience',
which aims to characterise the world on the assumption that there
is nothing to it but a number of matters of particular fact.
Lewis is one of the main proponents of the causal theory of
explanation.
