At the centre of the traditional discussion of truth is the
question of how truth is defined. Recent research, especially with
the development of deflationist accounts of truth, has tended to
take truth as an undefined primitive notion governed by axioms,
while the liar paradox and cognate paradoxes pose problems for
certain seemingly natural axioms for truth. In this book, Volker
Halbach examines the most important axiomatizations of truth,
explores their properties and shows how the logical results impinge
on the philosophical topics related to truth. In particular, he
shows that the discussion on topics such as deflationism about
truth depends on the solution of the paradoxes. His book is an
invaluable survey of the logical background to the philosophical
discussion of truth, and will be indispensable reading for any
graduate or professional philosopher in theories of truth.
