41Bilateral Truthmakers for Counterfactuals and CounterpossiblesIn Sujata Ghosh, Abhishek Anant Nowbagh & R. Ramanujan (eds.), Inference, Structure, Modality. The 7th Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic, Springer Singapore. forthcoming.This paper extends Fine’s truthmaker semantics for counterfactuals along two dimensions: first, while Fine’s semantics is only positive, this paper also provides falsification conditions for counterfactuals; second, this paper also deals with non-vacuous counterpossibles, i.e., counterfactuals with a necessarily false antecedent, from within the truthmaker semantics perspective.
