If-Clauses and Probability Operators
In: ISSN: 0167-7411 ; EISSN: 1572-8749 ; Topoi ; https://halshs.archives-ouvertes.fr/halshs-00775656 ; Topoi, Springer Verlag, 2011, 30 (1), pp.17-29. ⟨10.1007/s11245-010-9087-y⟩ (2011)
Abstract: International audience ; Adams' thesis is generally agreed to be linguistically compelling for simple conditionals with factual antecedent and consequent. We propose a derivation of Adams' thesis from the Lewis-Kratzer analysis of if-clauses as domain restrictors, applied to probability operators. We argue that Lewis's triviality result may be seen as a result of inexpressibility of the kind familiar in generalized quantifier theory. Some implications of the Lewis-Kratzer analysis are presented concerning the assignment of probabilities to compounds of conditionals.
