Description
Since its first publication in 1989, David Sanford's If P Then Q has become a widely respected work in the field of conditionals. This new edition includes three new chapters, thus updating the book to take into account developments in the area. Part One gives a historical overview of the history of philosophical treatments of conditionals, from ancient times to the contemporary development of possible worlds. In Part Two, Sanford puts forward his own treatment of conditionals. Review: 'Undergraduates will find the book useful as a resource. It covers a lot of ground mentioning most of the issues and positions that need to be addressed in a course on conditionals over the years. This is a good place to learn about conditionals or to have one's ideas about them challenged.' - Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic 'A useful starting point for a course on conditionals. The introductions to the issues are clear and well-illustrated with examples.' - Dialogue
