Аристотель вважав, що «про суще говорять у різноманітні способи». Мета цієї доповіді — дослідити, якою мірою сучасна модальна метафізика підтверджує цю думку.
EN
Aristotle held the opinion that “Being is said in many ways”. The aim of this paper is to find out the extent to which contemporary modal metaphysics supports this opinion. I assert that the structure of modal semantics that presupposes a diversity of possible worlds somehow related to the actual world as the exemplar, reproduces the Aristotelian conception of Being in relation to one. This Aristotelian resource of contemporary modal metaphysics most properly reveals itself in classical possibilism and modal Meinongianism.
