“…7 The direct argument plus our assumptions about rational epistemic commitment poses the same problem so long as we have MP. Similarly, Hanson (1991) argues that indicatives must be truth-functional if they satisfy what I am calling here Assumption 2. But his arguments only work in the context of modus ponens and a classical entailment relation.…”

This paper presents a unified, more-or-less complete, and largely pragmatic theory of indicative conditionals as they occur in natural language, which is entirely truthfunctional and does not involve probability. It includes material implication as a specialand the most important-case, but not as the only case. The theory of conditional elements, as we term it, treats if-statements analogously to the more familiar and less controversial other truth-functional compounds, such as conjunction and disjunction.
