In Contradiction: A Study of the Transconsistent
Graham Priest

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006

In Contradiction advocates and defends the view that there are true contradictions (dialetheism), a view that flies in the face of orthodoxy in Western philosophy since Aristotle. The book has been at the center of the controversies surrounding dialetheism ever since its first publication in 1987. This second edition of the book substantially expands upon the original in various ways, and also contains the author's reflections on developments ...

Logic: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)

26 reviews
Graham Priest

Oxford University Press, USA, 2001

It'll make your brain hurt......but it's a good hurt!
I've never studied logic before so this seemed like a good place to start. I don't know how you could possibly get more information into a little book this size! It's possibly the best value in a book that I've ever seen. If there's anything else to the field of logic that isn't here then I don't want to know. But be prepared to spend some time reading it.....you'll need to keep a notepad ...

Towards Non-Being: The Logic and Metaphysics of Intentionality
Graham Priest

Oxford University Press, USA, 2007

Graham Priest presents a ground-breaking account of the semantics of intentional language--verbs such as "believes," "fears," "seeks," or "imagines." Towards Non-Being proceeds in terms of objects that may be either existent or non-existent, at worlds that may be either possible or impossible. The book will be of central interest to anyone who is concerned with intentionality in the philosophy of mind or philosophy of language, the metaphysics ...

An Introduction to Non-Classical Logic: From If to Is (Cambridge Introductions to Philosophy)

Graham Priest

Cambridge University Press, 2008

Excellent introduction by a pioneer
An excellent introduction to many-valued, modal, intuitionistic, relevant, and fuzzy logic, by seminal dialethist Graham Priest. Priest's writing is clear and elegant. Formal developments are motivated and accompanied by cogent philosophical discussion, while the use of analytic tableaux makes deduction straightforward and soundness and completeness proofs, which are provided for most systems, ...

Richard Sylvan

Ashgate Pub Ltd, 2000

Richard Sylvan died in 1996, he had made contributions to many areas of philosophy, such as, relevant and paraconsistent logic, Meinongianism and metaphysics and environmental ethics.

This is a book of ideas, based on a collection of work found after his death, a chance for readers to see his ...

The Law of Non-Contradiction

Oxford University Press, USA, 2007

The Law of Non-Contradiction -- that no contradiction can be true -- has been a seemingly unassailable dogma since the work of Aristotle, in Book G of the Metaphysics. It is an assumption challenged from a variety of angles in this collection of original papers. Twenty-three of the world's leading experts investigate the "law," considering arguments for and against it and discussing methodological issues that arise whenever we question the ...

Lewisian Themes: The Philosophy of David K. Lewis

Oxford University Press, USA, 2004

David Lewis's untimely death on 14 October 2001 deprived the philosophical community of one of the outstanding philosophers of the 20th century. As many obituaries remarked, Lewis has an undeniable place in the history of analytical philosophy. His work defines much of the current agenda in metaphysics, philosophical logic, and the philosophy of mind and language. This volume, an expanded edition of a special issue of the Australasian ...

Doubt Truth to be a Liar
Graham Priest

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

The Law of Non-Contradiction has been high orthodoxy in Western philosophy since Aristotle. The so-called Law has been the subject of radical challenge in recent years by dialetheism, the view that some contradictions are indeed true. Many philosophers have taken the Law to be central to many of our most important philosophical concepts. In Doubt Truth to be a Liar, Graham Priest mounts the case against this. Starting with an analysis of ...

Beyond the Limits of Thought

1 review
Graham Priest

Oxford University Press, USA, 2003

The One and the Many
This is a fascinating and clearly written book of philosophy that deals with the problems that arise when we try to characterize the inherent limitations of human thought. Priest's position ("dialethism") is that in doing so, we inevitably contradict ourselves, and hence that the law of non-contradiction should be rejected. Priest's argument here depends upon the crucial claim that a wide variety ...
