Jonathan Bennett
Discussion of Grice's view that indicative conditionals are material conditionals, and his attempt to explain away apparent counter-evidence by appeal to his excellent theory of conversational implicature. Discusses failure of this attempt: indicatives obey the so-called ‘Ramsey test’, and Grice's theory cannot explain this.
Keywords: conditionals, conversational implicature, Grice, indicative conditionals, material conditionals, Ramsey
