Logic is fundamental to thought and language. But which logical principles are correct? The paradoxes play a crucial role in answering that question. The so-called Liar and Heap paradoxes challenge our basic ideas about logic; at the very least, they teach us that the correct logical principles are not as obvious as common sense would have it. The essays in this volume, written by leading figures in the field, discuss novel thoughts about the paradoxes.

'The collection is very good; arguably a must-read for everyone interested in the paradoxes. . . . The contributors to the volume represent a sizable subset of the important theorists in the field. Moreover, they do not simply rehash old ideas; the essays constitute genuine advancements. In light of the contributors prominence in the field, the present volume has a good claim to represent the state of the art' (Matti Eklund, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Semantic and soritical paradoxes challenge entrenched, fundamental principles about language - principles about truth, denotation, quantification, and, among others, 'tolerance'. Study of the paradoxes helps us determine which logical principles are correct. So it is that they serve not only as a topic of philosophical inquiry but also as a constraint on such inquiry: they often dictate the semantic and logical limits of discourse in general. Sixteen speciallywritten essays by leading figures in the field offer new thoughts and arguments about the paradoxes. Logic is fundamental to thought and language. But which logical principles are correct? The so-called Liar and Heap paradoxes challenge our basic ideas about logic; they teach us that the correct logical principles are not as obvious as common sense would have it. The essays in this volume, discuss novel thoughts about the paradoxes. This item is printed on demand.
