Exploring the intricacies of conditionals, this work delves into formal semantics, hypothetical deliberation, and various logical frameworks, contrasting classical and non-classical logics. It evaluates alternative model theories such as world-selection and relational models, and examines classical analyses by influential philosophers like Stalnaker and Lewis. Additionally, it investigates causation, subjunctive probabilities, and their implications for decision theory, culminating in a discussion of algebraic semantics and independence results. The comprehensive structure includes rules, theses, and indexes for easy reference.
