Mathematical pluralism is the view that there is an irreducible plurality of pure mathematical structures, each with their own internal logics, and that qua pure mathematical structures they are all equally legitimate. Mathematical pluralism is a relatively new position on the philosophical landscape. This Element provides an introduction to the position.

Is it possible for reality as a whole to be part of itself? Can the world appear within itself without thereby undermining the consistency of our thought and knowledge-claims concerning more local matters of fact? This is a question on which Markus Gabriel and Graham Priest disagree. Gabriel argues that the world cannot exist precisely because it is understood to be an absolutely totality. Priest responds by developing a special form of mereo...

Dialetheism is the view that some contradictions are true. This is a view which runs against orthodoxy in logic and metaphysics since Aristotle, and has implications for many of the core notions of philosophy. Doubt Truth to Be a Liar explores these implications for truth, rationality, negation, and the nature of logic, and develops further the defense of dialetheism first mounted in Priest's In Contradiction, a second edition of which is also...

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'sleading experts investigate the "law, " considering arguments for and against it and discussing methodological issues that arise whenever we question the leg...

Convincingly shows capitalism's role in creating current socio-economic problems. Shows how Buddhist and Marxist notions of persons are mutually complementary. Provides an analysis of the corrosiveness of top-down power structures and why they should be eliminated in a post-capitalist state.

Graham Priest explores the development of Buddhist metaphysics, which is viewed through the lens of the catu¿kot¿. In its earliest and simplest form this is a logical/metaphysical principle which says that every claim is true, false, both, or neither, but Priest shows how the principle itself evolves as the metaphysics develops.

Graham Priest shows that formal logic is a powerful, exciting part of modern philosophy -- a tool for thinking about everything from the existence of God and the reality of time to paradoxes of probability. Explaining formal logic in simple, non-technical terms, this edition includes new sections on mathematical algorithms, axioms, and proofs.

Graham Priest presents an original exploration of questions concerning the one and the many. He covers a wide range of issues in metaphysics¿unity, identity, grounding, mereology, universals, being, intentionality and nothingness¿and draws on Western and Asian philosophy as well as paraconsistent logic to offer a radically new treatment of unity.

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 ...

Graham Priest presents an account of the semantics of intentional language, which proceeds in terms of objects that may be either existent or non-existent, at worlds that may be either possible or impossible. This updated second edition includes ten new chapters which develop the ideas of the first edition, explore new areas, and reply to critics.
