Is There an Incremental Reading of Conditionals? / D. Dohrn. - In: AUSTRALASIAN PHILOSOPHICAL REVIEW. - ISSN 2474-0500. - 1:2(2017), pp. 173-178. [10.1080/24740500.2017.1346412]
abstract:
If-thenism is a strategy of paraphrasing seemingly obvious claims in order to avoid
their problematic commitments. The success of this strategy, says Yablo, depends on
the possibility of reading everyday language conditionals incrementally. The
incremental reading is to exclude that the supposition of the antecedent might
interfere with the truth of the consequent, as in the standard or ‘interference’ reading.
I argue that Yablo’s main arguments for the incremental reading are question-begging.
