Counterfactuals in Branching Time: The Weakest Solution

Year: 2021

Type: preprint

Abstract: In this paper, we present a formal analysis of temporally sensitive counterfactual conditionals. We observe a set of key metaphysical and conceptual problems in regards to counterfactual statements and time. Bearing that in mind, we present the weakest combination of Ockhamist branching time temporal logic and minimal counterfactual logic P and argue in favor of that simple solution.
