Published: 01 July 2015
...Andrew Bacon Most work on the semantic paradoxes within classical logic has centered around what this essay calls “linguistic” accounts of the paradoxes: they attribute to sentences or utterances of sentences some property that is supposed to explain their paradoxical or nonparadoxical status...

...Michael Caie An attractive approach to the semantic paradoxes holds that cases of semantic pathology give rise to indeterminacy. What attitude should a rational agent have toward a proposition that it takes to be indeterminate in this sense? Orthodoxy holds that rationality requires that an agent...

... is embedded within a bilateral framework, a novel and principled solution of the semantic paradoxes becomes available. Having argued for a functionalist account of truth, deflationists wield Occam’s razor to conclude that the right semantics for the truth predicate is the simplest one that accounts for its...

... with Horwich, and sometimes not.
Rather surpisingly, in his treatment of semantic paradoxes in the postscript,

alized by saying “both true...

...’ is there to allow for truth-value gaps in the cases of semantic paradox, vagueness, and so on.) 1 Misak claims that Bivalence is a “regulative assumption of inquiry” (50). We must assume that Bivalence is true, even though we would not be justified in believing it. Here, “assumption” is a propositional...

... to the counterexample. A sentiment I have often heard is that it's not surprising that something goes wrong when we allow for self-reference. The semantic paradoxes are notoriously hard; it shouldn't come as a surprise that grounding, too, gets fouled up by self-reference. Such an attitude strikes me as both...

semantic defect), then the paradox is only pushed back. For we can go on to
conclude that whatever this status may be, it implies that the Liar sentence is
not true. This claim is true, but it is just the Liar sentence again. We are back
in paradox. As Gaifman’s paper points...
