    It is not the case that Strong global supervenience entails weak global supervenience.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.The modal operators governing 'strong' and 'weak' global supervenience quantify over different ranges of possible worlds, making transitivity through intermediate forms non-trivial.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Strong global supervenience uses cross-world necessity while weak global supervenience uses intra-world necessity, and Kim's own formulations reveal these are not straightforwardly nested.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Paull and Sider (1992) demonstrated that global supervenience formulations fail to correctly capture dependence relations when worlds differ in their domain of individuals.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If the entailment chain through intermediate supervenience presupposes a fixed domain of individuals across worlds, it fails in variable-domain modal frameworks standard in philosophical logic.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
