The case of the missing ‘If’: Accessibility relations in Stalnaker’s theory of conditionals
Semantics and Pragmatics (forthcoming)
Abstract
A part of Stalnaker (1968)’s influential theory of conditionals has been neglected, namely the role for an accessibility relation between worlds. I argue that the accessibility relation does not play the role intended for it in the theory as stated, and propose a minimal revision which solves the problem, and brings the theory in line with the formulation in Stalnaker & Thomason 1970.
