Under Review / In Progress

Evidence and Conditional Propositions

Argues for a new kind of non-factualism about conditionals, on the basis of principles in conditional epistemology.

Persistence is Trivial

Proves new, more general Gibbardian triviality results that illustrate a tension between restrictor and entailment-based theories of the indicative. Provides a semantics that offers the most coherent response to these results.

Conditional Restriction

Shows how to axiomatise the restrictor view of the conditional. Shows that the resulting logic is sound on a variety of semantics and argues for the superiority of the semantics from “Persistence is Trivial”.
