Abstract
This chapter is dedicated to conditionals as objects of crucial concern for knowledge representation, plausible reasoning and belief revision. The relationship between conditionals, epistemic states and beliefs is studied, and we develop the formal means to handle conditionals in revision and reasoning. In particular, we explain how conditional structures, imposed by conditionals on worlds, can be represented appropriately to investigate interrelated effects of conditionals.
Parts of the ideas to be developed here can also be found in other papers (see, for instance, [KI98a, KI99c]), but most of the results presented in this chapter are new.
