Deviant Logic and the Paradoxes of Self-Reference

“Deviant Logic and the Paradoxes of Self-Reference,” Philosophical Studies, 70 (1993) 279–303.

About

I’m Greg Restall, and this is my website. I work in Philosophy at the University of Melbourne. Email: greg at consequently.org; Post: School of of Philosophy, Anthropology and Social Inquiry, University of Melbourne, Parkville 3010, Australia.

Start at the home page—a summary of the site. The left column is news, archived on the news archive page. The central column contains recent items from the writing page, which lists my publications. These are also categorised by topic. You can follow my links at my account on delicious and occasional short snarky remarks at @consequently on twitter.

O, such a deed / As from the body of contraction plucks / The very soul
