Lewis published five volumes containing 99 papers—almost all the papers he published in his lifetime. They discuss his counterfactual theory of [[causality|causation]], the concept of [[semantic score]], a contextualist analysis of knowledge, and a dispositional [[value theory]], among many other topics.

Lewis's monograph <cite>''Parts of Classes''</cite> (1991), on the [[foundations of mathematics]], sketched a reduction of [[set theory]] and [[Peano arithmetic]] to [[mereology]] and [[plural quantification]]. Very soon after its publication, Lewis became dissatisfied with some aspects of its argument; it is currently out of print (his paper "Mathematics is megethology", in ''Papers in Philosophical Logic'', is partly a summary and partly a revision of "Parts of Classes")
