Abstract
Conditionals are familiar tools, playing an important role in both reasoning and communication. According to
orthodoxy, conditionals can be divided into two categories: indicatives and subjunctives. This thesis sets out to assess how these two are alike and how they differ.

I argue that an austere account of this difference is available: conditionals, whether indicative or subjunctive, provide us with a way of investigating the status of the consequent under the supposition of the antecedent. In this way, both types of conditional are fundamentally tools for exploring information.
