Abstract
In the second half of the twentieth century, the topic of modality, while earlier ignored within analytic philosophy, made a striking return. This new environment, I suggest, has allowed Hegel’s distinctive metaphysics to come more clearly into view, in that his idealism can be seen as having features in common with recent “actualist” alternatives to David Lewis’s “modal realism.” Here it may be significant that Arthur Prior, an early proponent of modal actualism, had been influenced by his teacher, the Hegelian philosopher John Findlay.
