I am Professor of History and Philosophy of Logic in the Department of Logic and Metaphysics.
My main research interest remains the notion of logical consequence; and extends from medieval theories in the philosophy of language, mind and logic, to the more modern concerns of relevance logic and the philosophy of logic.
I am the Principal Investigator in a new Arché research project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) on the Foundations of Logical Consequence. This project started in January 2009. Two new Post-Doctoral Research Fellowships associated with this project have been advertised (closing date 16 January 2009) and two new Postgraduate Studentships (one is still open - applications invited). There are two associated project seminars, the Foundations of Logic Consequence Seminar and the Arché Logic Group. The project opened with a Workshop on ‘Proof-theoretical and model-theoretical semantics’ on 12-13 January 2009. Multi-media broadcasts of some of the sessions are now available at the new Arché Projects website. We held a second Workshop, on The Logic of Denial in October 2009, and there will be a further Workshop, on Propositions, Context and Consequence in March 2010, and a Conference on the Foundations of Logical Consequence in June 2010.
My previous project was an examination of Bradwardine’s discussion of insolubles and the Liar paradox. I prepared a new edition and English translation of Bradwardine’s Latin text from the thirteen known manuscripts. The work is forthcoming as volume 10 in the series Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations published by Peeters.
