| Abstract | In this paper we argue that the antecedent of a (non-analytic) conditional is causally relevant to the consequent, … at least if standard background conditions hold. Natural counterexamples to the causal relevance analysis are argued to be cases where the standardly assumed background condition(s) do not hold. |
