Neil Tennant works on mathematical and philosophical logic, focusing on paradoxes, proof theory, and the logical foundations of mathematics and arithmetic. His research develops alternative logical systems (such as 'Core Logic') that avoid classical assumptions like 'ex falso quodlibet,' and examines how numbers, sets, and mathematical reasoning can be given rigorous logical foundations. This work sits at the intersection of philosophy, logic, and foundations of mathematics rather than empirical psychology.

Publication output has been uneven over the last decade, with a notable spike in 2022 (linked to a major book with many chapter-length outputs) surrounded by quieter years, and a steady stream of journal articles in 2023-2025.
