This book expounds and evaluates the main literature about each kind. It eventually defends the view of Adams and Edgington that indicatives are devices for expressing subjective probabilities, and the view of Stalnaker and Lewis that subjunctives are statements about close possible worlds. But it also discusses other views, e.g. that indicatives are really material conditionals, and Goodman's approach to subjunctives.The author, one of the world's leading authorities on the subject of conditional sentences, distils many years' work and teaching into 'A Philosophical Guide to Conditionals', an authoritative treatment of the subject.Conditionals (Logic)Electronic books.Conditionals (Logic)160Bennett Jonathan1930-152783MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454074303321A philosophical guide to conditionals2472180UNINA
