10. Modality / B. Possibility / 8. Conditionals / a. Conditionals

10. Modality / B. Possibility / 8. Conditionals / b. Types of conditional

13770

There are many different conditional mental states, and different conditional speech acts [Edgington]

10. Modality / B. Possibility / 8. Conditionals / c. Truth-function conditionals

13764

Are conditionals truth-functional - do the truth values of A and B determine the truth value of 'If A, B'? [Edgington]

13765

'If A,B' must entail ¬(A & ¬B); otherwise we could have A true, B false, and If A,B true, invalidating modus ponens [Edgington]
