Reviews
Shapiro's wide-ranging and thought-provoking book marks a major milestone in the recent debate initiated by JC Beall and Greg Restall's influentialLogical Pluralism (Beall and Restall 2006) * J. P. Studd, Mind * Stewart Shapiro's book is convincing ... The case for logical pluralism has been made before, but with Shapiroâs book we get an argument for pluralism that promises to resonate not only with logicians but with classical mathematicians. * Ole Hjortland, Philosophical Quarterly * It is a rich book, which, apart from contributions to logical pluralism, makes connections between the philosophy of logic, philosophy of language, philosophy of math, and epistemology There is much to like in Shapiro's Varieties of Logic. It is an engaging contribution to the debates over logical pluralism that articulates an appealing pluralist position, and it highlights many fruitful connections between the philosophy of logic and other areas of philosophy. It will be required reading for anyone interested in logical pluralism or the philosophy of logic * Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online * Varieties of Logic will become the standard text on logical pluralism, and will likely set the agenda for debates on the topic for years to come. * L.M. Geerdink and C. Dutilh Novaes, History and Philosophy of Logic *
