Pluralisms in Truth and Logic Edited by Jeremy Wyatt Nikolaj J. L. L. Pedersen Nathan Kellen Palgrave Innovations in Philosophy Series Editors Vincent Hendricks University of Copenhagen Copenhagen, Denmark Duncan Pritchard University of Edinburgh Edinburgh, UK Palgrave Innovations in Philosophy is a new series of monographs. Each book in the series will constitute the ‘new wave’ of philosophy, both in terms of its topic and the research profile of the author. The books will be concerned with exciting new research topics of particular contemporary interest, and will include topics at the intersection of Philosophy and other research areas. They will be written by up-and-coming young phi- losophers who have already established a strong research profile and who are clearly going to be leading researchers of the future. Each monograph in this series will provide an overview of the research area in question while at the same time significantly advancing the debate on this topic and giving the reader a sense of where this debate might be heading next. The books in the series would be of interest to researchers and advanced students within philosophy and its neighboring scientific environments.

This edited collection brings together 18 state-of-the-art articles on pluralism about truth and logic. We first discussed the possibility of an edited collection shortly after the Truth Pluralism and Logical Pluralism Conference, held at the University of Connecticut in April of 2015. Following this conference, several additional pluralism-related events took place, including three workshops hosted by the Cogito Research Centre at the University of Bologna in 2015 and 2016 and Pluralisms Week, hosted by the Pluralisms Global Research Network and the Veritas Research Center at Yonsei University in June of 2016. A fair number of contributors were given the chance to present and discuss their work at one or several of these events. The University of Connecticut, University of Bologna, and Yonsei University all provided financial support. We gratefully acknowledge their support. Two of the editors, Pedersen and Wyatt, would also like to thank the National Research Foundation of Korea for support (grants no. 2013S1A2A2035514 and 2016S1A2A2911800). We are grateful to many colleagues who share our interest in pluralism. Their collegial, constructive ways of conducting research and discussions are much appreciated. We are grateful to many people who, in some way or another, have helped along the way. These include Jc Beall, Elke Brendel, Colin Caret, Roy Cook, Douglas Edwards, Will Gamester, v vi Preface Patrick Greenough, Sungil Han, Jinho Kang, Jiwon Kim, Junyeol Kim, Seahwa Kim, Teresa Kouri Kissel, Kris McDaniel, Graham Priest, Agustín Rayo, Greg Restall, Jisoo Seo, Stewart Shapiro, Gila Sher, Paul Simard Smith, Erik Stei, Elena Tassoni, Pilar Terrés, Cory D.
