Reviews

this is a rewarding book. It is a must-read for everyone interested in the philosophy of paraconsistent logic. Bartosz Wieckowski, Studia Logica This wide-ranging book is divided into four Parts: Truth, Negation, Rationality and Logic. Priest's discussion of these topics is centered around their bearing on his doctrine of dialetheism, the view that some contradictions are true; but the discussions are of great interest independent of dialetheism. The quality of the discussion is generally very high, and the book is a must-read for anyone interested in the central questions of the philosophy of logic... I found this a thoroughly stimulating book. I recommend it with great enthusiasm. Hartry Field, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
