'''Sir Michael Anthony Eardley Dummett''', FBA (27 June 1925 – 27 December 2011) was a British [[philosopher]], described as "among the most significant British philosophers of the last century and a leading campaigner for racial tolerance and equality."

== Biography ==

He was, until 1992, Wykeham Professor of Logic at the University of Oxford. He wrote on the history of [[analytic philosophy]], most notably as an interpreter of [[Frege]], and has made original contributions to the subject, particularly in the philosophies of [[mathematics]], [[logic]], [[language]] and [[metaphysics]].

He was known for his work on truth and meaning and their implications for the debates between realism and anti-realism, a term he helped popularize. He devised the [[Quota Borda]] system of [[proportional voting]], based on the [[Borda count]].

In [[mathematical logic]], he developed an intermediate logic, already studied by [[Kurt Gödel]]: the so-called [[Gödel–Dummett logic]].
