Synopsis
Consider the sentence 'This sentence is not true'. It seems that the sentence can be neither true nor not true, on pain of contradiction.

All philosophers interested in logic and language will find Truth and Paradox a stimulating read.

Review
"Maudlin's Truth and Paradox offers a new way out of [the Liar] paradox, which is worth exploring...I cannot do justice to many of his thought-provoking points...Maudlin does an excellent job in explaining why other theories of truth...are unsatisfying and also why he is driven to his own theory."--Byeong Lee, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Truth and Paradox offers a comprehensive account of truth values and the norms governing claims about truth, based on a new approach to logic and semantics. Since the seminal work of Tarski in the mid-twentieth century, the Liar paradox and other related paradoxes have stood in the way of a precise philosophical account of truth. Tim Maudlin draws on analogies from mathematical physics to explicate the origin of classical truth-value gaps, and to provide anaccount of truth that avoids any hierarchy of languages or of truth predicates. He also closely investigates our reasoning about truth, including apparently unobjectionable reasoning about the paradoxicalsentences. The fallacies in that reasoning are located not in any inferences concerning truth, but in the foundations of standard logic. Blocking the paradoxical arguments requires emendation of classical logic, and the requisite emendations call into question the existence of any a priori logical truths. Maudlin also includes a discussion of facts and factuality, most particularly the question of whether there are any facts about truth. All philosophers interested in logic andlanguage will find this a stimulating read. Consider the sentence 'This sentence is not true'. It seems that the sentence can be neither true nor not true, on pain of contradiction. Certain notorious paradoxes like this have bedevilled philosophical theories of truth. The author presents an account of logic and semantics which deals with these paradoxes. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
