Real Conditionals

"Philosophers and logicians have long debated how best to understand conditional or hypothetical sentences. William G. Lycan has a distinctive approach to this debate, attending not just to the semantics of such sentences, but equally to their syntax. He shows how insights from linguistic theory help to illuminate problems about the meaning and function of conditionals." "Real Conditionals gives a presentation of this approach to a topic at the intersection of philosophy, logic, and linguistics."--Jacket.
