Conditionalism

Conditionalism is a school of thought that argues that reality depends on conditions and circumstances. This means that everything that happens in the world depends on what conditions exist at a given time.

Conditionalism was developed in the 17th century by the French philosopher René Descartes. He argued that we cannot know anything definite about the world until we find the conditions that determine its existence. For example, if we talk about the existence of a person, then we must indicate the conditions under which he exists.

However, conditionalism is not the only philosophical movement that recognizes the dependence of reality on conditions. There is also determinism, which claims that all events in the world occur strictly according to the laws of nature.

In general, conditionalism is one of many philosophies that try to explain reality and its dependence on conditions. It has its advantages and disadvantages, and each person can choose which direction is closer to him.

Conditionalism is a theory in psycholinguistics according to which utterances are formed on the basis of logical rules and grammar, as well as with the help of associations and contingency, but the phrase is meaningless until a certain conditional meaning appears.

The assumption of constitutive meanings of an expression allows that a phrase is correct for us only when we understand it in a certain context. To correctly understand the phrase, it is necessary to know the conditions and linguistic knowledge of the sender. To date, this explanation least adequately reflects speech actions, since here the linguistic justification of actions is higher than the human intentions of the sender of the speech.

The application of condesionalism in practice can cause certain difficulties, given that people may begin to often use their psychological characteristics, especially the obscure and hidden meaning of their words
