The abstract of the talk:
*Sometimes, we want a description not just to be true, but also
comprehensive - the whole truth, in some sense. I will argue that different
senses of comprehensiveness can be elucidated using the resources of modal
logic, understood broadly. Specifically, I will define a variety of what we
may call "totality operators" and discuss their relationships and their
applications in metaphysics. *
