This conference marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of Graham \;Priest&rsquo\;s In Contradiction. It is hosted by the School of Humanities at the \;University of Glasgow.
In Contradiction is the first serious defence of the view that there are \;true contradictions (dialetheism)\, as a response to the paradoxes of self-reference. The transition of dialetheism from a view on the &lsquo\;lunatic \;fringe&rsquo\;\, to be dismissed with an incredulous stare\, to one of the major \;players in the debate surrounding truth and paradox\, is one of the most \;significant developments in philosophical logic of the last 30 years. \;Priest&rsquo\;s work and\, in particular\, In Contradiction has been central to the \;development of dialetheism\, with the latter (now expanded in its second \;edition) still regarded as the view&rsquo\;s canonical text.
