Neil Tennant (born 1 March 1950) is an American philosopher. He is Arts & Humanities Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Ohio State University; and, before taking up his appointment at the Ohio State University he held positions at the University of Edinburgh, the University of Stirling, and the Australian National University.

Along with Michael Dummett, Crispin Wright, Tennant is one of the most notable figures who have attempted to extend the project of providing anti-realist semantics for empirical language.[1][2] He has also written extensively on intuitionistic logic and other non-classical logics.

Education and career

Tennant was the editor of the journal American Philosophical Quarterly from 2004 to 2007.

He was elected to the Australian Academy of the Humanities, as a Corresponding Fellow, in 1990.[3][4]
