The actual logical forms corresponding to the ten interpretations of the conditional
Abstract
This paper explores the idea of a syntax of thought proposed by theories such as the one of the mental logic. Taking into account that syntax as it is described by the mental logic theory can have some problems, this paper offers a possible alternative syntax based only on conjunctions, disjunctions, and negations. This alternative syntax is mainly studied here in the case of conditional reasoning and follows the mental models theory, a framework that considers semantics to be more relevant than syntax, and that hence is, in principle, incompatible with the mental logic theory.References
