Palgrave Innovations in Philosophy is a new series of monographs. Each
book in the series will constitute the ‘new wave’ of philosophy, both in
terms of its topic and the research profile of the author. The books will be
concerned with exciting new research topics of particular contemporary
interest, and will include topics at the intersection of Philosophy and
other research areas. They will be written by up-and-coming young phi-
losophers who have already established a strong research profile and who
are clearly going to be leading researchers of the future. Each monograph
in this series will provide an overview of the research area in question
while at the same time significantly advancing the debate on this topic
and giving the reader a sense of where this debate might be heading next.
The books in the series would be of interest to researchers and advanced
students within philosophy and its neighboring scientific environments.

Preface
Pluralism has made inroads into a number of areas in philosophy. This
edited collection brings together 18 state-of-the-art articles on pluralism
about truth and logic.
We first discussed the possibility of an edited collection shortly after
the Truth Pluralism and Logical Pluralism Conference, held at the
University of Connecticut in April of 2015. Following this conference,
several additional pluralism-related events took place, including three
workshops hosted by the Cogito Research Centre at the University of
Bologna in 2015 and 2016 and Pluralisms Week, hosted by the Pluralisms
Global Research Network and the Veritas Research Center at Yonsei
University in June of 2016. A fair number of contributors were given the
chance to present and discuss their work at one or several of these events.
The University of Connecticut, University of Bologna, and Yonsei
University all provided financial support. We gratefully acknowledge
their support. Two of the editors, Pedersen and Wyatt, would also like to
thank the National Research Foundation of Korea for support (grants no.
2013S1A2A2035514 and 2016S1A2A2911800).
We are grateful to many colleagues who share our interest in pluralism.
Their collegial, constructive ways of conducting research and discussions
are much appreciated. We are grateful to many people who, in some way
or another, have helped along the way. These include Jc Beall, Elke
Brendel, Colin Caret, Roy Cook, Douglas Edwards, Will Gamester,
