Outline of Final Research Achievements

Dialetheism is the view that at least one contradiction is true. This project investigated trivialism as a philosophical topic related to dialetheism, and connexive logic as a logical topic related to dialetheism. For the former topic, we explored implications of admitting trivialist's position by making use of the possible world semantic framework. For the latter topic, we explored the approach to connexive logics in terms of the falsity condition for the conditional.
