Isi artikel

In this paper, I explore the issue of the context-dependence of counterfactual conditionals and how the context constrains similarity in selecting the correct set of worlds necessary to arrive at the correct truth-conditions. I review the previous literature and make a proposal based on the idea of discourse structure and the concept of a question under discussion.
