Possible worlds semantics for indicative and counterfactual conditionals? : a formal philosophical inquiry into Chellas-Segerberg semantics /
Conditional structures lie at the heart of the sciences, humanities, and everyday reasoning. It is hence not surprising that conditional logics - logics specifically designed to account for natural language conditionals - are an active and interdisciplinary area. The present book gives a formal and...
