In this paper, I lay the groundwork for the investigation of intersubjective attitudes and epistemic positions towards conditionals. The aim is to un- derstand what intersubjective attitudes two individuals can have towards conditional statements. I here consider only these three main attitudes. Two individuals can agree about a conditional (i.e. they both believe the same conditional), disagree (they believe two conditionals with the same antecedent but contradictory consequents), or suspend their judgement on it. I here distinguish strong disagreement, namely an agent explicitly contradicts what another agent has said; and weak disagreement, i.e., suspended judgement, where an agent does not directly contradict another agent’s utterance or belief, but suspends judgement about it.

Abstract
In this paper, I lay the groundwork for the investigation of intersubjective attitudes and epistemic positions towards conditionals. The aim is to un- derstand what intersubjective attitudes two individuals can have towards conditional statements. I here consider only these three main attitudes. Two individuals can agree about a conditional (i.e. they both believe the same conditional), disagree (they believe two conditionals with the same antecedent but contradictory consequents), or suspend their judgement on it. I here distinguish strong disagreement, namely an agent explicitly contradicts what another agent has said; and weak disagreement, i.e., suspended judgement, where an agent does not directly contradict another agent’s utterance or belief, but suspends judgement about it.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
