UNDERCUTTING AND THE RAMSEY TEST FOR CONDITIONALS

There is an important class of conditionals whose assertibility condit ions are not given by the Ramsey test but by an inductive extension of that test. Such inductive Ramsey conditionals fail to satisfy some of the core properties of plain conditionals. Associated principles of n onmonotonic inference should not be assumed to hold generally if inter pretations in terms of induction or appeals to total evidence are not to be ruled out.
