We introduce a basic intuitionistic conditional logic \(\textsf{IntCK}\) that we show to be complete both relative to a special type of Kripke models and relative to a standard translation into first-order intuitionistic logic. We show that \(\textsf{IntCK}\) stands in a very natural relation to other similar logics, like the basic classical conditional logic \(\textsf{CK}\) and the basic intuitionistic modal logic \(\textsf{IK}\). As for the basic intuitionistic conditional logic \(\textsf{ICK}\) proposed in Weiss (_Journal of Philosophical Logic_, _48_, 447–469, 2019 ), \(\textsf{IntCK}\) (...) extends its language with a diamond-like conditional modality \(\Diamond \hspace{-4.0pt}\rightarrow \), but its ( \(\Diamond \hspace{-4.0pt}\rightarrow \) )-free fragment is also a proper extension of \(\textsf{ICK}\). We briefly discuss the resulting gap between the two candidate systems of basic intuitionistic conditional logic and the possible pros and cons of both candidates. (shrink)

We define intuitionistic subatomic natural deduction systems for reasoning with elementary would-counterfactuals and causal since-subordinator sentences. The former kind of sentence is analysed in terms of counterfactual implication, the latter in terms of factual implication. Derivations in these modal proof systems make use of modes of assumptions which are sensitive to the factuality status of the formula that is to be assumed. This status is determined by means of the reference proof system on top of which a modal proof system (...) is defined. The introduction and elimination rules for counterfactual (resp. factual) implication draw on this status. It is shown that derivations in the systems normalize and that normal derivations have the subexpression/subformula property. An intuitionistically acceptable proof-theoretic semantics is formulated in terms of canonical derivations. The systems are applied to so-called counterpossibles and to related constructions.

Motivated by supplying a new strategy for connexive logic and a better semantics for conditionals so that negating a conditional amounts to negating its consequent under the condition, we propose a new semantics for connexive conditional logic, by combining Kleene’s three-valued logic and a slight modification of Stalnaker’s semantics for conditionals. In the new semantics, selection functions for selecting closest worlds for evaluating conditionals can be undefined. Truth and falsity conditions for conditionals are then supplemented with a precondition that the (...) selection function is defined. Based on the new semantics, we define six conditional logics by different classes of models, using two notions of validity, one preserving truth and the other preserving tolerant truth. We prove soundness and completeness of these logics and compare them with some conditional logics in the literature. Our partial function plus precondition strategy may be used in other semantic frameworks to generate more connexive logics. (shrink)
