Abstract: Peter Gärdenfors has developed a
semantics for conditional logic, based on the operations of
expansion and revision of states of information. A
conditional is declared accepted in a state of information K
if its consequent is accepted in the state of information
which is the result of revising K with respect to its
antecedent. Extending this approach, I propose a semantics
entirely based on epistemic states and operations on these
states. The semantics is accompanied by a syntactic
treatment of conditional logic which is formally similar to
Gentzen's sequent formulation of natural
deduction.
