ISBN: 0199287112 ISBN-13: 9780199287116 Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA OUR PRICE: $152.00 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: January 2006 Annotation: Deflationist accounts of truth are widely held in contemporary philosophy: they seek to show that truth is a dispensable concept with no metaphysical depth. However, logical paradoxes present problems for deflationists that their work has struggled to overcome. In this volume of fourteen original essays, a distinguished team of contributors explore the extent to which, if at all, deflationism can accommodate paradox. The volume will be of interest to philosophers of logic, philosophers of language, and anyone working on truth.
