Philosophy bluesky! Does anyone have access to: David Lewis' 1992 Critical Notice on Armstrong's Combinatorial Theory of Modality. It was in the Australasian Journal of Philosophy. Help needed!

#philsky. I need help! Looking for a new, recent topic in the philosophy of mind that would be suitable to teach to MA students. Something recent and engaging. AI is already on the course, so not that please. Work by women and other minoritized folks would be great.
