About this book

Conditional structures lie at the heart of the sciences, humanities, and everyday reasoning. This is why conditional logics – logics specifically designed to account for natural language conditionals – are an active, interdisciplinary area. Discussing a wide range of topics, this book gives a formal and a philosophical account of indicative and counterfactual conditionals in terms of Chellas-Segerberg semantics.
