Description

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