Tags:Counterfactuals, Lewis Algebras and Modal Conditionals
Abstract:
Counterfactual conditionals are statements like “if a were the case, then b would be the case" and they are crucial for various fields like logic, linguistics, and AI. In this work we introduce a novel modal algebraic framework to analyze Lewis counterfactuals that allows us to combine logical, algebraic, and probabilistic approaches.
