An Investigation of the Lumps of Thought
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is about situation semantics and about the meaning of counterfactuals. It argues that there is a close connection between the laws of counterfactual reasoning and a relation between propositions that I want to call 'lumping'. Capturing this relation seems to require a component of semantic interpretation which recognizes parts of possible worlds (situations) as primitives and implies a new approach to genericity and negation.
