Paul Redding (born 1948) is an Australian philosopher and emeritus professor of philosophy at the University of Sydney. He is known for his research on Hegel's philosophy and the tradition of German idealism more generally. In particular he has pursued the relation of Hegel's logic to the approach to logic in analytic philosophy and pragmatism and, more recently, the tradition of Platonism.[https://ndpr.nd.edu/news/23465-analytic-philosophy-and-the-return-of-hegelian-thought/ A review of "Analytic Philosophy and the Return of Hegelian Thought"] by Willem A. deVries[http://parrhesiajournal.org/parrhesia11/parrhesia11_bowden.pdf Paul Redding's continental idealism] by Sean Bowden
