  • Überconsistent Logics And Dialetheism

    Open AccessGraham PriestARTICLECritica2025

    An überconsistent logic is one where the set of logical truths is inconsistent. Examples of such logics have been known for a long time. However, it has recently been recognized that this is an important new class of logics. Dialetheism is the view that some contradictions are true. Since logical truths are true, it might be thought that these logics provide an important new argument for dialetheism. However, matters are not that straightforward.…

  • Reflections on the principle of sufficient reason

    Open AccessGraham PriestARTICLEThe Southern Journal of Philosophy2025

    This essay is a discussion of the Principle of Sufficient Reason in the context of fundamental principles of philosophy. The paper discusses what the Principle is, Leibniz's argument for it, a contemporary argument for it, given by Michael Della Rocca, and an argument drawn from Buddhist philosophy by Allison Aitken. It is argued that all such arguments fail. By the very statement of the Principle, if there is no justification for it, it is false…

    Open AccessGraham PriestARTICLEAsian Studies2025

    Nothingness is a tantalizing concept. It appears in the thinking of many major philosophers—East and West—where it plays a profound role in their thinking concerning the nature of the world (that is, the beings that constitute it). However, nothingness is implicated in contradiction and paradox right from the start. It is something and, well, nothing. This essay has three themes. The first is the role of nothingness in Mahāyāna Buddhist philosoph…

  • The Logical Structure of Dialectic

    Graham PriestARTICLEHistory and Philosophy of Logic2023

    I give a formal model of dialectical progression, as found in Hegel and Marx. The model is outlined in the first half of the paper, and deploys the tools of a formal paraconsistent logic. In the second half, I discuss a number of examples of dialectical progressions to be found in Hegel and Marx, showing how they fit the model

  • Introduction

    Elena Ficara, Graham PriestARTICLEHistory and Philosophy of Logic2023

    The idea at the basis of this special issue is that reopening the old debate about the logical status of Hegel's dialectics is extremely interesting, for various reasons. The first reason is that a new Hegel is circulating, nowadays, in the philosophical literature, with specific reference to Hegel's dialectical logic and its relation to the history and philosophy of logic. This development deserves to be accounted for. Secondly, new research abo…

  • Reflections on Orlov

    Graham PriestARTICLEHistory and Philosophy of Logic2021

    In 1928 Ivan Orlov published a remarkable paper which contains the first formulation of a relevant logic. The paper remained largely unknown to English-speakers until this discovery of relevant logic was shown by Kosta Doen in 1992. By that time the material on relevant logic was well known; however, there is more of interest in Orlov's paper than this: his remarks on intuitionism, the motivation for his construction, and its wider implications. …

  • What Can't be Said

    Yasuo Deguchi, Jay L Garfield et al.BOOKWhat Can't Be Said2021

    Paradox drives a good deal of philosophy in every tradition. In the Indian and Western traditions, there is a tendency among many (but not all) philosophers to run from contradiction and paradox. If and when a contradiction appears in a theory, it is regarded as a sure sign that something has gone amiss. This aversion to paradox commits them, knowingly or not, to the view that reality must be consistent. In East Asia, however, philosophers have r…

  • The Parmenidean Ascent

    Graham PriestARTICLEThe Philosophical Review2021

    This book by Michael Della Rocca (hereafter DR) is everything a good philosophy book should be: clear, well argued, historically informed, written with a sense of humor, and—most importantly—bold and provocative. The main thesis of the book, following Parmenides, is that there are no distinctions in reality. There have certainly been philosophers who have defended a Parmenidean view of recent years. (To mention two: Rea 2001; and Severino 2016, a…

    The is a brief reply to the central objection against the construction of my The Fifth Corner of Four by Andi Kapsner in his “Cutting Corners: A Critical Note on Priest’s Five-Valued Catuṣkoṭi. This concerns the desirability of adding a fifth corner (ineffability) to the four of the catuṣkoṭi

  • Kant’s Excessive Tenderness for Things in the World, and Hegel’s Dialetheism

    Graham PriestCHAPTERLogic from Kant to Russell2019

    Dialetheism is the view that some contradictions are true. The history of Western philosophy has, however, produced a few thinkers who stood up against the orthodoxy, the most notable of these being Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Hegel explicitly claims that reality may be contradictory. In his Wissenschaftslehre, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, like Hegel, started from Immanmuel Kant and, like Hegel, criticised the Kantian postulation of the thing-in-it…

  • And So On

    Graham PriestCHAPTERThe Fifth Corner of Four2018

    The Sanlun thinker Jizang constructed a hierarchy of ultimate and conventional truths by alternately applying the third and fourth corners of the cateṣkoṭi. This chapter discusses the significance of the hierarchy and shows how to make precise formal sense of it.

  • Reality and its Structure

    Ricki Bliss, Graham PriestBOOKReality and Its Structure2018

    This volume brings together fourteen essays from leading and emerging scholars that address issues relating to the view that has come to be known as metaphysical foundationalism, and explore possibilities regarding its alternatives. According to the foundationalist, reality is hierarchically arranged with chains of entities ordered by metaphysical dependence relations that terminate in a fundamental ground populated by consistent and contingent e…

  • The Fifth Corner of Four

    Graham PriestBOOKThe Fifth Corner of Four2018Citada por: 7

    Graham Priest presents an exploration of Buddhist metaphysics, drawing on texts which include those of Nāgārjuna and Dōgen. The development of Buddhist metaphysics is viewed through the lens of the catuṣkoṭi At its simplest, and as it appears in the earliest texts, this is a logical/ metaphysical principle which says that every claim is true, false, both, or neither; but the principle itself evolves, assuming new forms, as the metaphysics develop…
