Logical Pluralism

JC Beall and Greg Restall “Logical Pluralism”, Australasian Journal of Philosophy, 78:4 (2000) 475–493

This is our article on logical pluralism. We argue that the notion of logical consequence doesn’t pin down one deductive consequence relation, but rather, there are many of them. In particular, we argue that broadly classical, intuitionistic and relevant accounts of deductive logic are genuine logical consequence relations. We should not search for One True Logic, since there are Many.

A bigger version of the argument (with much more detail) is found in our book of the same name.

Thought

Contrariwise, if it were so, it would be; but as it isn’t, it ain’t. That’s logic!
