David Ripley arrived at UNC-CH in 2003. He has research interests in logic, formal philosophy of language, and linguistics. Currently, he thinks that some contradictions are true (although they're all false), and that vague predicates have precise extensions; tying these two themes together might be a neat trick for an M.A. thesis. David's publications include: "Analetheism and Dialetheism," written with J.C. Beall, in Analysis (January 2004), and a review of John Woods, "Paradox and Paraconsistency, in Notre Dame Reviews (June 2003), which was also written along with J.C. Beall.
