Spring 2007
Thursday 1:10-4:10
Davison Hall, Rutgers
Course Webpage
Our purpose in this class is to give students a rigorous background to
some classical theories of conditionals. Since the literature is so
large, we will of necessity pick and choose from different theories. In
each case, we will seek to explain the basics of the relevant approach.
