Abstract:

Semantic and soritical paradoxes challenge entrenched, fundamental
principl es about language - principles about truth, denotation,
quantification, and, among others, 'tolerance'. Study of the paradoxes
helps us determine whic h logical principles are correct. So it is
that they serve not only as a to pic of philosophical inquiry but also
as a constraint on such inquiry: they often dictate the semantic and
logical limits of discourse in general.

Sixteen specially written essays by leading figures in the field offer
new thoughts and arguments about the paradoxes.

Lingfield(s):
		Philosophy of Language Semantics

Written In: English (Language Code: ENG)
