This paper introduces a probabilistic analysis of conditionals based on a quantitative measure of evidential support. It compares the interpretation of 'if' with the suppositional and strict interpretations within a formal framework. Each interpretation has specific logical features that warrant separate consideration.
This paper develops a probabilistic analysis of conditionals which hinges on a quantitative measure of evidential support. In order to spell out the interpretation of 'if' suggested, we will compare it with two more familiar interpretations, the suppositional interpretation and the strict interpretation, within a formal framework which rests on fairly uncontroversial assumptions. As it will emerge, each of the three interpretations considered exhibits specific logical features that deserve separate consideration.
