Conditionals and KK

Abstract In this paper, we explore the tension between the KK thesis and an attractive principle concerning the assertability of conditionals. We explore the prospects for defending the KK thesis against the problems posed, and conclude that they are dim. We therefore maintain that the pattern of assertability conditions for conditionals poses a powerful new argument against the KK thesis.
