Conditionals and Supposition-Based Reasoning
Topoi 30 (1):39-45 (2011)
Abstract
Case-based reasoning is a familiar method of evaluating sentences. But when applied to conditionals, it seems to lead to implausible conclusions. In this paper I argue that the problem arises from equating the probability of a conditional sentence on the evidential supposition of some condition with the conditional probability of the former, given the latterMy notes
