The puzzle of presupposition projection in subjunctive conditionals.
I shall assume that the structure of a conditional sentence is such that the modal operator is restricted covertly by the accessibility relation and overtly by the antecedent.
The question that any semantic analysis of conditionals must address is: What is the set of worlds that the modal operator quantifies over?
For Indicative Conditionals it seems correct to say that the worlds that the modal operator quantifies over must be epistemically accessible worlds, i.e. worlds compatible with the speaker's epistemic state (Stalnaker 1975).
Restricting the quantification to epistemically accessible worlds allows us to explain (i) why the presuppositions of the antecedent have to hold in the worlds quantified over and (ii) why the antecedent has to be consistent with what the speaker knows.
