Riassunto

Dialetheism is the view that some contradictions are true. This is a view which runs against orthodoxy in logic and metaphysics since Aristotle, and has implications for many of the core notions of philosophy. Doubt Truth to Be a Liar explores these implications for truth, rationality, negation, and the nature of logic, and develops further the defence of dialetheism first mounted in Priest's In Contradiction, a second edition of which is also available.

Su questo libro

Recensione

this is a rewarding book. It is a must-read for everyone interested in the philosophy of paraconsistent logic. (Bartosz Wieckowski, Studia Logica)

This wide-ranging book is divided into four Parts: Truth, Negation, Rationality and Logic. Priest's discussion of these topics is centered around their bearing on his doctrine of dialetheism, the view that some contradictions are true; but the discussions are of great interest independent of dialetheism. The quality of the discussion is generally very high, and the book is a must-read for anyone interested in the central questions of the philosophy of logic. . . . I found this a thoroughly stimulating book. I recommend it with great enthusiasm. (Hartry Field, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews)
