    contemporaryAnalytic Philosophy, Philosophical Logic

    Greg Restall is a contemporary Australian philosopher and logician, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Melbourne, specializing in philosophical logic, proof theory, and the philosophy of language. He is best known for co-developing logical pluralism with JC Beall, arguing that multiple distinct logics can each be correct. His work bridges formal proof theory and analytic metaphysics, with contributions spanning substructural logics, truthmaking, and the logic of negation.
