Conditionals Bibliography
When I was working on my dissertation, I compiled an extensive list of philosophy references on the topic of conditionals, including the material conditional, the English indicative conditional, and counterfactual conditionals. I cannot claim this to be an exhaustive bibliography, but it contains almost all the significant papers up until the year 2000, when I stopped working full time on this topic. I am doing some research, and will add in some more recent papers, but if you are doing philosophical work on conditionals and would like to build on this bibliography, please let me know, and I can update the more recent entries.
Note that some character sets do not include the proper symbol for '⊃', making it appear as a box. This symbol is the material conditional represented by the 'horseshoe' or 'superset' character.
