Abstract

In this paper we are going to characterize the idea of logical pluralism according to Beall and Restall. In order to do that, this paper is divided into three sections. In the first section, we shall define briefly what Beall and Restall’s theory is about. In the second, we shall deal with some problems with the theory and some possible answers. Finally, three objections will be raised. Keywords: logical pluralism, logical monism, Beall, Restall, Priest.
