The liar an essay on truth and circularity

Barwise, Jon. (Author). Etchemendy, John, 1952- (Added Author).

Summary: This monograph purports to provide a solution to semantical paradoxes like "the liar". The authors base this solution on J.L. Austin's idea of truth, which is fundamental to situation semantics, and compare two models of language, propositions and truth.
