The Liar Without Relativism

چکیده

Abstract Some in the recent literature have claimed that a connection exists between Liar paradox and semantic relativism : view truth values of certain occurrences sentences depend on contexts at which they are assessed. Sagi (Erkenntnis 82(4):913–928, 2017) argues contextualist accounts committed to relativism, Rudnicki ?ukowski (Synthese 1–20, 2019) propose new account classify as relativist. I argue full understanding how is conceived within theories natural language shows neither purported connections can be maintained. There no reason why solution needs accept relativism.

Surely, one of them must have solved it! In a way, most of the...

Indexical Relativism versus Genuine Relativism

The main purpose of this paper is to characterize and compare two forms any relativist thesis can take: indexical relativism and genuine relativism.

Genuine relativists, by contrast, claim that there is relativity not just at the level of sentences, but also at propositional level. ...

In „Undeniably Paradoxical: Reply to Jacquette,‟ John Barker offers a criticism of my recent Polish Journal of Philosophy essay, „Denying the Liar.‟ If Barker is right, then I have correctly but unsurprisingly shown only that a construction other than the liar is not genuinely paradoxical, while leaving the liar paradox itself, properly so-called, completely untouched. Barker twice in the essay...
