Taal spreekt vanzelf, totdat je stilstaat bij de woorden en hun betekenissen. Dan begint het algauw te duizelen. Is je redenering wel te volgen? Hoe weet je of de ander begrijpt wat jij bedoelt? Weet je eigenlijk zelf wel wat je zegt? Wat maakt jouw uitspraken anders dan het geblaf van een hond of een wekker die afgaat? Op dit soort vragen wil de taalfilosofie een antwoord geven. 'Als dan dus daarom' is een toegankelijke inleiding in de taalfilosofie die je leidt langs woorden en zinnen, verwijzen en redeneren, structuur en betekenis. (flaptekst)

Moritz Schulz explores counterfactual thought and language: what would have happened if things had gone a different way. Counterfactual questions may concern large scale derivations (what would have happened if Nixon had launched a nuclear attack) or small scale evaluations of minor derivations (what would have happened if I had decided to join a different profession). A common impression, which receives a thorough defence in the book, is that oftentimes we find it impossible to know what would have happened. However, this does not mean that we are completely at a loss: we are typically capable of evaluating counterfactual questions probabilistically: we can say what would have been likely or unlikely to happen. Schulz describes these probabilistic ways of evaluating counterfactual questions and turns the data into a novel account of the workings of counterfactual thought.
