Although being non-strict, since they allow for exceptions, these generalizations play a vital role in science as well as in everyda y reasoning (e.g about preferences). Recent work in modal logic witnesses an increasing activity i n formal modeling and applications on this side. T his workshop is meant to contribute from different sides to the debate around the status and the str ucture of ceteris paribus laws and reasoning and b rings together researchers working in different ar eas of Philosophy of Science and Logics.
