    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Strong individual supervenience requires no A-difference without B-difference across all possible worlds for individuals.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Weak global supervenience permits worlds indiscernible in B-properties yet discernible in A-properties at the global level.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A relation governing individuals across worlds does not logically constrain global world-to-world property distribution patterns.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Kim's (1984) formal derivation assumes modal accessibility relations are uniform across individual and global supervenience formulations.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If S5 is rejected and accessibility relations vary between individual and global modal contexts, the entailment chain in P1-P3 breaks.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.There exist non-normal modal frameworks where cross-world individual covariance does not generate the global covariance required by weak global supervenience.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    It is also easy to see that strong individual supervenience entails strong global supervenience. Suppose that A-properties fail to strongly globally supervene on B-properties. That means that there are two worlds w1 and w2 between which there is a B-preserving isomorphism that fails to be A-preserving. So, for some x in w1, the image of x under I in w2—call it y—has all and only the same B-properties as x in w1, but differs from x in w1 in at least one of its A-properties. But that is just to sa
