  Beginning with Daniels and Freeman (1980) and Warmbrōd (1981a,b), there was a second wave of strict analyses developed explicitly to address the non-monotonic interpretation of counterfactual antecedents. Warmbrōd (1981a,b), Lowe (1983, 1990), and Lycan (2001) account for the counterexamples to antecedent monotonic patterns within a systematic theory of how counterfactuals are context-sensitive. More recently, Gillies (2007) has argued that a strict analysis along those lines is actually preferable to an account that builds the non-monotonicity of counterfactual antecedents into their semantics, i.e., similarity analyses. This section will outline the basic features of these second wave strict conditional analyses.
