Jc Beall

Jc Beall is an American philosopher, formerly the Board of

Jc Beall
Trustees Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University
of Connecticut.[2][3][4] As of late 2020 Beall holds the O’Neill
Family Chair of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame.[5]

Work
Beall is best known in philosophy for contributions to
philosophical logic (particularly non-classical logic) and to the
philosophy of logic. Beall, together with Greg Restall (a
Melbourne logician and philosopher), is a pioneer of a widely
discussed version of logical pluralism,[6] according to which any Beall in 2017
given natural language has not one but many relations of logical Born 1966 (age 55–56)
consequence. Beall is also widely known for advocating a glut- Portsmouth, New
theoretic account (see: dialetheism) of deflationary truth (Spandrels Hampshire
of Truth (2009)[7]).
Alma mater Princeton Theological
Against the standard no-gap tradition in glut theory, also known as Seminary
dialetheism (a neologism coined by philosophers Richard Sylvan (M.Div.)
and Graham Priest), Beall's early and post-2013 work advocates a University of
gluts-and-gaps account of language, advocating not only the Massachusetts
existence of truth-value gluts but also of truth-value gaps.[8][9] The Amherst
adoption of both gaps and gluts distinguishes Beall from other (Ph.D.)
researchers in a broadly glut-theoretic ("dialethic") framework,
who usually accept only gluts. Era Contemporary
