Is Necessitarianism true in some possible worlds, but false in others?
This Substack post presents a novel transcendental argument for necessitarianism—the thesis that all truths are necessary truths. The argument proceeds by demonstrating that any coherent modal evaluation of necessitarianism’s own modal status generates a dialectical structure that vindicates necessitarianism itself. Specifically, I show that the standard possible-worlds framework for evaluating modal claims becomes incoherent or self-undermining when applied to necessitarianism, and that this incoherence provides evidence that the framework itself, rather than necessitarianism, is fundamentally mistaken. If successful, this argument suggests that necessitarianism may be the only metaphysically stable position regarding modality.
