Conditionals has at its center an extended essay on this problematic and much-debated subject in the philosophy of language and logic, which the widely respected Oxford philosopher Michael Woods had been preparing for publication at the time of his death in 1993. It appears here edited by his eminent colleague David Wiggins, and is accompanied by a commentary specially written by a leading expert on the topic, Dorothy Edgington. This masterly and original treatment of conditionals will demand the attention of all philosophers working in this area.Reviews
"This is a clear and thought-provoking essay that succeeds in pulling together many distinct issues concerning the interpretation of conditionals. It thus serves well both as an introduction to the difficult issues it treats, and as an interesting polemic in its own right."--Mathematical Reviews
"This is a very interesting investigation of natural language conditionals. Woods displays both a remarkably sensitive insight into examples of usage and an excellent grasp of the relevant literature."--Bulletin of Symbolic Logic
