A counterpossible conditional is a counterfactual with an impossible antecedent. Common sense delivers the view that some such conditionals are true, and some are false. In recent publications, Timothy Williamson has defended the view that all are true. In this paper we defend the common sense view against Williamson's objections.
反可能条件句是一种前提不可能成立的反事实条件句。常识表明,有些这样的条件句是真的,有些是假的。在最近的出版物中,蒂莫西·威廉姆森为所有反可能条件句都是真的这一观点进行了辩护。在本文中,我们针对威廉姆森的反对意见捍卫常识观点。
