Abstract In this chapter on indicative conditionals, we focus on two central challenges that any analysis of indicative conditionals must meet, instead of writing (yet another) general overview. The first is the challenge of accounting for the non-monotonic inference pattern that conditionals in general display. The second is that of accounting for the interaction with probability claims (and adverbs of quantification in general) and the related triviality results.
