"Above all write clearly, and make it short if you can!"
(Ed Gettier)
I try to follow Gettier's advice, at least with respect to papers. I aim to make all of my papers clear and very concise. So far, so good. (Well, joint papers sometimes get a bit long, but I can't take full blame for that!) Books, on the other hand, are a different story; making them short is not quite as easy or, perhaps, desirable. (But I'll try.)
I am currently working on truth, paradoxes, and a pluralistic view of logical consequence. Some of these projects, as indicated below, are currently under contract.
Please Note: I hope to soon upload some of this work for downloading purposes. Meanwhile, if you would like a copy of any of the following papers, just let me know: jc.beall@uconn.edu.
