Reviews
this is a powerful book, rich with ideas and sophisticated arguments . . . Philosophers and linguists interested in conditionals are encouraged-unconditionally-to form their own opinion about the arguments that this book provides; it is a rewarding read. * Malte Willer, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
the book is full of original ideas, powerful arguments, and trenchant observations. It will serve as a useful resource for those looking for unorthodox ideas about conditionals and the cognitive role of semantics. * Daniel Rothschild, Mind *
