Abstract

This paper initiates an investigation of conditional measures as simple measures on conditional events. As a first step towards this end we investigate the construction of conditional algebras which allow us to distinguish between the logical properties of conditional events and those of the conditional measures which we can be attached to them. This distinction, we argue, helps us clarifying both concepts.

Fußnoten
1
Among many other references, the reader may get an idea of the arguments in support of Adam’s thesis which sees the probability of a conditional as conditional probability from [2, 10, 11, 19], and from the arguments which reject it as ill-founded from [13, 16].

Note that the Rejection Constraint forces us to exclude counterfactual conditionals from our analysis.
