Description


The topic of this workshop is the semantics of indicative conditionals and counterfactual conditionals. What is the role of past tense in counterfactual conditionals? Can we provide a unified semantics for indicative and counterfactual conditionals? How can we assign probabilities to conditionals, and do we do it in the same way for indicative and counterfactual conditionals? These are some of the issues that will be of special interest in this workshop.
