Abstract

Nikolai Vasiliev offered a systematic approach to the development of a class of non-classical logics, which he called "Imaginary Logics". In this paper, I examine critically some of the central features of Vasiliev's approach to logical theory, suggesting its relevance to contemporary debates in the philosophy of logic. I argue that there is much of significant value in Vasiliev's work, which deserves close philosophical engagement.
