Join them as they detail the journey of their new book, 'One True Logic'. Along the way, discover how advances in logic influenced a technological revolution, how logic makes us better people, and what Owen thinks of Taylor's 'Midnights'.  One True LogicBuy from OUP: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/one-true-logic-9780198829713Buy from Amazon: https://amzn.eu/d/8slSaJMOxford academics and students can access the e-version on SOLO.Alexander PaseauProfessor of Mathematical Philosophy and Stuart Hampshire Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy, Wadham College, University of OxfordWadham profile page: https://www.wadham.ox.ac.uk/people/alexander-paseauPhilosophy profile page: https://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk/people/alexander-paseauOwen GriffithsAssociate Lecturer, University College LondonUCL page: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/philosophy/people/owen-griffithsRelated ReadingInfinite Potential: logic, philosophy, and the next tech revolution: https://blog.oup.com/2022/09/infinite-potential-logic-philosophy-and-the-next-tech-revolution/The Reasoner (October 2022): http://thereasoner.org/Philosophy Profs Reveal One True Logic: https://www.wadham.ox.ac.uk/news/philosophy-profs-reveal-one-true-logicYou can provide feedback on Wadcast at https://www.wadham.ox.ac.uk/wadcastYou can listen to past episodes of Wadcast on all major podcast platforms, including:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wadcast/id1632600269Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2eat8a5SAF0SgsXRAkJQ1R?si=60da56343ab6471cGoogle Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8yMDAzNTQ4LnJzcw?sa=X&ved=0CBsQ27cFahcKEwjYieCktuH4AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQGg
