In philosophical writing, you will often see the Latin phrase certeris paribus, which means “all other things being equal”. McIntosh uses this phrase when claiming that in an indicative conditional, the consequent follows from the antecedent, ceteris paribus. Look up ceteris paribus to understand its meaning and use. Then construct a ceteris paribus argument, and give some defeaters which would violate the ceteris paribus clause.
