The problem of truth and the liar paradox is one of the most
extensive problems of philosophy. The liar paradox can be avoided
by assuming a so-called theory of partial truth instead of a
classical theory of truth. Theories of partial truth, however,
cannot solve the so-called strengthened liar paradox, which is the
problem that many semantic statements about the so-called
strengthened liar cannot be true in a theory of partial truth. If
such semantic statements were true in the theory, another paradox
would emerge. To proponents of contextual accounts, which assume
that the concept of truth is context-dependent, the strengthened
liar paradox is the core of the liar problem. This book provides an
overview of current contextual approaches to the strengthened liar
paradox. For this purpose, the author investigates formal theories
of truth that result from formal reconstructions of such contextual
approaches.
