Abstract In this dialogue, You (Michael Della Rocca) and Me (Filippo Casati) discuss the relation between their philosophical positions, and the relevance of those positions for contemporary thinking as well. In the first part of the conversation, You and Me speak about their uncompromising commitment to the Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR). You believes that the PSR entails a radical form of monism according to which there are no relations whatsoever; Me believes that the PSR entails the existence of a contradictory entity which explains the existence of everything else. In the (logical) interlude, You and Me explain how their uncompromising commitment to the PSR challenges (classical) logic, although such a challenge has very different consequences. Me is an illogicist (i.e., he rejects classical logic because he endorses another kind of logic, the paraconsistent one); You is an alogicist (i.e., he rejects classical logic because he rejects logic tout court). In the last part, You and Me argue that their philosophical positions are viable, representing views which have been systematically and unwarrantedly ignored in the contemporary debate about the paradoxes generated by the PSR.
