The Ramsey Test as an inference rule
Crocco, Gabriella and Herzig, Andreas
Abstract:
The so-called Ramsey test has been used as a way of giving
meaning to conditionals by basing them on an operation of belief change.
Contrarily to the usual AGM account
we suppose that belief change corresponds to an operator in the object
language.
This permits to state the Ramsey test in terms of two inference rules.
We investigate the minimal logic of updates and conditionals that supports
these two inference rules.
We show that such a logic can be based on
the basic semi-normal logic of conditionals Ck as defined by Chellas.
