Truth is one of the oldest and most central topics in philosophy.
Formal theories explore the connections between truth and logic,
and they address truth-theoretic paradoxes such as the Liar. Three
leading philosopher-logicians now present a concise overview of the
main issues and ideas in formal theories of truth. Beall,
Glanzberg, and Ripley explain key logical techniques on which such
formal theories rely, providing the formal and logical background
needed to develop formal theories of truth. They examine the most
important truth-theoretic paradoxes, including the Liar paradoxes.
They explore approaches that keep principles of truth simple while
relying on nonclassical logic; approaches that preserve classical
logic but do so by complicating the principles of truth; and
approaches based on substructural logics that change the shape of
the target consequence relation itself. Finally, inconsistency and
revision theories are reviewed, and contrasted with the approaches
previously discussed. For any reader who has a basic grounding in
logic, this book offers an ideal guide to formal theories of truth.
