Description
"In Counterfactual Conditionals, Daniel Dohrn discusses the standard account of counterfactuals, conditionals of the form ‘If A had been the case, then B would have been the case’. According to the standard account, a counterfactual is true if the then-sentence is true in all closest worlds in which the if-sentence is true. Closeness is spelled out in terms of an ordering of worlds by their similarity. Dohrn explores resources of defending the standard account against several challenges. In particular, he defends the standard logics for counterfactuals. He discusses exemplary doubts as to whether conditionals have truth conditions. He inquiries into the interaction between truth and probability of counterfactuals. He tackles problems with the similarity ordering. He addresses the interaction between counterfactuals and normalcy conditions. He closes with elaborating peculiarities of future-directed counterfactuals."--Publisher description.
