CONTEXTUAL APPROACHES TO TRUTH AND THE STRENGTH...

The problem of truth and the liar paradox is one of the most extensive problems of philosophy.
The liar paradox can be avoided by assuming a so-called theory of partial truth instead of a
classical theory of truth. Theories of partial truth  however  cannot solve the so-called
strengthened liar paradox  which is the problem that many semantic statements about the
so-called strengthened liar cannot be true in a theory of partial truth. If such semantic
statements were true in the theory  another paradox would emerge. To proponents of contextual
accounts  which assume that the concept of truth is context-dependent  the strengthened liar
paradox is the core of the liar problem. This book provides an overview of current contextual
approaches to the strengthened liar paradox. For this purpose  the author investigates formal
theories of truth that result from formal reconstructions of such contextual approaches.
