Salvatore Florio is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the
University of Birmingham. He specializes in philosophy of language,
philosophical logic, and philosophy of mathematics. His published
work, which focuses on questions about the nature of logic and the
foundations of semantics, has appeared in journals such as
Australasian Journal of Philosophy, Mind, Nous, Philosophers'
Imprint, and Philosophy and Phenomenological Research. Since 2019
he
has been an editor of The Review of Symbolic Logic.
Øystein Linnebo is Professor of Philosophy at the University of
Oslo. His main research interests lie in the philosophies of logic
and mathematics, metaphysics, and early analytic philosophy
(especially Frege). A recipient of an ERC Starting Grant, he has
published more than sixty scientific articles and is the author of
Philosophy of Mathematics (Princeton University Press, 2017) and
Thin Objects: An Abstractionist Account (Oxford University Press,
2018).
The volume by Florio and Linnebo is a most welcome contribution,
and I believe it will be valuable not only for philosophers of
logic and philosophical logicians, but also for philosophers of
mathematics who are interested in the possible applications of
plural logic to logico-mathematical theories and the broadly
philosophical issues that these applications give rise to.
