'If' is one of the most important and interesting words in the
English language. It is used to express hypothetical thought - an
essential part of human reasoning and decision making. This type of
thought occurs wherever there is uncertainty, and uncertainty is
everywhere in our lives. The use of conditional terms such as 'if'
also distinguishes human intelligence from that of all other
animals, permitting a higher level of rationality in human
reasoning and decision making. Until now, such conditionals have
been the subject of independent study by psychologists and
philosophers. In this volume, Jonathan Evans and David Over present
a new theoretical approach to understanding hypothetical thought.
The book draws on studies from the psychology of judgement and
decision making, as well as philosophical logic. A new volume in
the acclaimed Oxford Cognitive Science series, 'If' will be an
important book for both psychologists and philosophers interested
in human reasoning. Advance praise for If: "This book brings
together a wealth of work in cognitive psychology and will be
valuable to both psychologists and philosophers. There is not, as
far as I know, another book which covers this ground." Professor
Dorothy Edgington, Dept of Philosophy, University of Oxford "This
is a wonderful book. It is excellently written and provides
convincing arguments for a new perspective on conditionals." Dr
Klaus Oberauer, Department of Psychology, University of Potsdam,
Germany
