One: Being an Investigation Into the Unity of Reality and of Its Parts, Including the Singular Object Which Is Nothingness
paraconsistent logic in order to offer a radically new treatment of unity. Priest brings together traditions of Western and Asian thought that are usually kept separate in academic philosophy: he draws on ideas from Plato, Heidegger, and Nagarjuna, among other philosophers.

@DenkenAnalysis I think I read something by Jason Turner I liked about this stuff; I can't remember where it was but it partly re-emerges in his NDPR review of Graham Priest's One

"The dish he doles out about Lindsey Graham, Reince Priebus, Sean Spicer, Josh Holmes, Elise Stefanik and more feels less like drive-by scuttlebutt and more face-to-face personal... Miller is both confessor and priest, albeit one with an open bar tab."
Löb’s theorem and Curry’s paradox are two very closely related results in logic. Both are surprising, but one—Löb’s—is considered acceptable while the other—Curry’s—is not. In fact, both should fail. Read Zach Weber’s response to Graham Priest’s essay. https://t.co/k0KvvrzGnc https://t.co/jYLoCSMc6R
Praise for this book
-- Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online
"A bracingly original treatise. The breadth and boldness of this work, as well as its technical rigor and historical sensitivity are very much to be admired." -- Mind
"In just 230 pages, One is a dense, remarkably clear, and unique treatment of a wide-range of topics in philosophy. What unifies the book is the topic of what unifies objects generally-what Priest calls 'gluon theory'-and allied themes in Buddhist thought. Gluon theory answers the question, What makes something one? What is it that 'glues' an object together into a unity? The impressive number of topics brought together by Priest's answer, which prominently services the fringe views for which he is well-known, speaks to its power and elegance. For this reason, One could also serve as a panoramic introduction to Priest's work generally." -- Philosophy in Review
