“…While the Benchmark Theory has been criticized, I assume, successfully by Briggs (2010) and Bassett (2015), CCDT has been widely taken uncritically as a version of CDT that conforms to the assumed pre‐theoretic judgments about the rationality of acts in Newcomb problems and in Egan's cases: see Ahmed (2012, p. 386), Pittard (2016, p. 20) and Williamson (2019, p. 7).…”

There is an ongoing debate in the philosophical literature whether the conditionals that are central to deliberation are subjunctive or indicative conditionals and, if the latter, what semantics of the indicative conditional is compatible with the role that conditionals play in deliberation. We propose a possible-world semantics where conditionals of the form "if I take action a the outcome will be x" are interpreted as material conditionals. The proposed framework is illustrated with familiar examples and both qualitative and probabilistic beliefs are considered. Issues such as common-cause cases and 'Egan-style' cases are discussed. * I am grateful to three anonymous reviewers for helpful and constructive comments.
