Conditionals are sentences of the form 'If A, then B', and they
play a central role in scientific, logical, and everyday reasoning.
They have been in the philosophical limelight for centuries, and
more recently, they have been receiving attention from
psychologists, linguists, and computer scientists. In spite of
this, many key questions concerning conditionals remain unanswered.
While most of the work on conditionals has addressed semantical
questions - questions about the truth conditions of conditionals -
this book focuses on the main epistemological questions that
conditionals give rise to, such as: what are the probabilities of
conditionals? When is a conditional acceptable or assertable? What
do we learn when we receive new conditional information? In
answering these questions, this book combines the formal tools of
logic and probability theory with the experimental approach of
cognitive psychology. It will be of interest to students and
researchers in logic, epistemology, and psychology of reasoning.
