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. 330 8 $aThe 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. 606 $aConditionals (Logic) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aConditionals (Logic) 676 $a160 700 $aBennett$b Jonathan$f1930-$0152783 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454074303321 996 $aA philosophical guide to conditionals$92472180 997 $aUNINA
