Abstract

In this paper we compare Arthur Prior’s well-known Ockhamistic semantics to an alternative semantics for future contingents. We show that the alternative semantics is able to distinguish between two different statements about counterfactual future possibilities, which are equivalent according to Prior’s Ockhamistic semantics.
