Keith Simmons presents an original, unified solution to the semantic paradoxes which have dogged attempts to give a consistent account of the logic of natural language since antiquity: the liar paradox and the paradoxes of reference and predication.

Roy T. Cook examines the Yablo paradox, a paradoxical, infinite sequence of sentences, each of which entails the falsity of all others that follow it. He focuses on questions of characterization, circularity and generalizability, and pays special attention to the idea that it pr…

"Roy T. Cook examines the Yablo paradox--a paradoxical, infinite sequence of sentences, each of which entails the falsity of all others later than it in the sequence--with special attention paid to the idea that this paradox provides us with a semantic paradox that involves no c…
