If
Jonathan Evans and David Over
Abstract
‘IF’ is one of the most important and interesting words in the English language, being used to express hypothetical thought. The use of conditionals such as ‘if’ also distinguishes human intelligence from that of all other animals. This book presents a new theoretical approach to understanding hypothetical thought. It draws on studies from the psychology of judgement and decision making, as well as philosophical logic.
Keywords: hypothetical thought, human intelligence, theoretical approach, psychology of judgement, decision making, philosophical logic
