This week we'll be discussing Jc Beall's paper 'Free of detachment: Logic, rationality, and gluts', in which he defends paraconsistent logic (and theories leading to it) from the challenges arising from the fact that, in such logics, the material conditional doesn't detach (A, A⊃B ⊭ B)—not by providing a detachable conditional (a → such that A, A→B ⊨ B), but by questioning the place of a detachable conditional in our theorising.
