    Supports→The strict actualist need not accept the possibilist demand for Tarski-style compositionality as a requirement for a satisfying account of modal truth conditions.

    Possibilists consider Tarski-style compositionality essential for grounding the truth of complex modal statements in the properties of individuals.

    How then do things stand for the strict actualist with respect to the first element of the possibilist’s two-fold challenge? The answer of course depends entirely on what one takes to be a “systematically and philosophically satisfying” account of the truth conditions for modal assertions like (2). Possibilists (and their haecceitist and eliminitivist counterparts) clearly consider preservation of Tarski-style compositionality (formalized in an appropriate notion of an intended interpretation)
