My paper "Disagreement about logic from a pluralist perspective" has just been published in Philosophical Studies.

Paper published in “The Philosophical Quarterly”

Back in Europe
I am back from the US getting settled in Bonn, again. I miss the States, but it is pretty good to be here, too.

I am also … Continue reading Back in Europe
