Robert Stalnaker MIT Professor, field of philosophical logic, philosophy of mindand philosophy of language. Current concern is the possible world of modalsemantics analysis of philosophical basis, conditional logic, and to use thisframework to clarify the necessary and possible, the concept of knowledge, Generalknowledge and rational decision-making, mutual beliefs, inductive reasoning,metaphysical issues such as mode and quantization. This paper focuses on sitaernakeof conditional sentences and its plight。The text is divided into four chapters. Chapter I is the sitaernake origins of theidea of conditional sentences. Ramsey is the first fundamentally overturned theobjective probability theory and the person identified the subjective probability. Witha Word, Ramsay believes that probability is the measure of people’s subjective belief.Chapter II is the main content of sitaernake conditional logic. Into absoluteprobability function, and counterfactual probability of two sections. Sitaernakeconditional logic using probability theory to the analysis of conditional proposition,his argument has three steps each step includes a probabilistic interpretation of thesystem. Quinn-like modes included in the classification, sitaernake will call thissystem contains three gradedChapter III starr, conditional logic semantics. In1968’s "the theory of aconditional sentence," suggested a counterfactual conditionals in the form of possibleworld semantics. Starr didn’t consider Mr Bernanke can break the qualitativeconditions whether lack of true value. He directly according to the true explanationcan be broken.ChapterIV starr conditional sentence thought Mr Bernanke faces thepredicament and outlet. Starr, puts forward some of the most close to Mr Bernanke aworld before choosing the reasonable way of normal conditions. These conditionscreate a conditional logic. Many features of this logic is very qualified specialargumentation of language intuition. The conditional sentence thought in solving took-counterfactual conditionals and law of excluded middle these two problems whenthey met with difficulties.
