Liars and Heaps
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Logic is fundamental to thought and language. But which logical principles are correct? The paradoxes play a crucial role in answering that question. The socalled Liar and Heap paradoxes challenge our basic ideas about logic; at the very least, they teach us that the correct logical principles are not as obvious as common sense would have it. The essays in this volume, written by leading figures in the field, discuss novel thoughts about the paradoxes.
