???? Anyway you asked about Kripke - the problem for me (I don't have Kripke on hand at the moment) is that if you say for example - 'what if there were no Hitler' etc. - it's as if you could change one world-variable without changing everything else. You can't; the world is a holarchy, nexus. I'm not arguing for determinism but just want to point out, at least for me, the futility in these 'what-if' equations which presume a radical discon- nectedness. - Alan
