dc.description.abstract | There is an ongoing debate about a paradox introduced by Stephen Yablo. Yablo
originally introduced his paradox to challenge the belief that self-reference is
essential to liar-like paradoxes. After looking closely at the specification of
the paradox, I conclude that Yablo did not succeed in challenging this claim.
His paradox is, just like the Liar paradox, self-referential. This means that the
Yablo paradox is less helpful to finding solutions to logical paradoxes than Yablo
hoped. His paradox is just another self-referential semantic paradox. | |
