Introduction

In recent years there have been a number of books—both anthologies and monographs—that have focused on the Liar Paradox and, more generally, on the semantic paradoxes, either offering proposed treatments to those paradoxes or critically evaluating ones that occupy logical space.

At the same time, there are a number of people who do great work in philosophy, who have various semantic, logical, metaphysical and/or epistemological commitments that suggest that they should say something about the Liar Paradox, yet who have said very little, if anything, about that paradox or about the extant projects involving it.

The purpose of this volume is to afford those philosophers the opportunity to address what might be described as reflections on the Liar.
