Shaughan Lavine (Ph.D. in Logic and the Methodology of Science, University of California, Berkeley, 1988) taught at Columbia University and in the Mathematics Department at Stanford University before coming to Arizona in 1995. Currently, he is working on a trilogy of books on adaptive semantics, adaptive translation, and the axiomatic method, the common theme of which is that our principles, assumptions, and constraints are provisional and subject to coordinated adjustment. He is on the editorial board of the Lecture Notes in Logic series of the Association for Symbolic Logic.
