This paper discusses Aristotle's thesis and Boethius' thesis, the most distinctive theorems of connexive logic. Its aim is to show that, although there is something plausible in Aristotle's thesis and Boethius' thesis, the intuitions that may be invoked to motivate them are consistent with any account of indicative conditionals that validates a suitably restricted version of them. In particular, these intuitions are consistent with the view that indicative conditionals are adequately formalized as strict conditionals.

Abstract

This paper discusses Aristotle's thesis and Boethius' thesis, the most distinctive theorems of connexive logic. Its aim is to show that, although there is something plausible in Aristotle's thesis and Boethius' thesis, the intuitions that may be invoked to motivate them are consistent with any account of indicative conditionals that validates a suitably restricted version of them. In particular, these intuitions are consistent with the view that indicative conditionals are adequately formalized as strict conditionals.
