KurzfassungAbstract
We present a new approach to evaluate conditionals in human reasoning. This approach is based on the weak completion semantics which has been successfully applied to adequately model various other human reasoning tasks in the past. The main idea is to explicitly consider the case, where the condition of a conditional is unknown with respect to some background knowledge, and to evaluate it with minimal revision followed by abduction. We formally compare our approach to a recent approach by Schulz and demonstrate that our proposal is superior in that it can handle more human reasoning tasks.
