Abstract
Counterfactuals are a kind of conditionals where the antecedent is usually assumed to be false. To interpret such conditionals, a peculiar cognitive ability seems to be required: the ability to imagine alternate scenarios and reasoning about such imagined scenarios. In this work, three approaches to the semantics of counterfactual will be presented and compared: the standard approach (at least among philosophers), developed by R. Stalnaker and D. Lewis and based on relations of "similarity" among possible worlds, the approach developed by A. Kratzer, based on the idea that the truth of a counterfactual depends on the specification of a set of premises and, finally, the approach recently developed by K. von Fintel and A. S. Gilles according to which the role of a counterfactual in a conversation is that of making salient some possibilities.
