Semantic and soritical paradoxes challenge entrenched, fundamental principles about language - principles about truth, denotation, quantification and, among others, "tolerance". Study of the paradoxes helps us determine which logical principles are correct. So it is that they serve not only as a topic of philosophical enquiry but also as a constraint on such enquiry: they often dictate the semantic and logical limits of discourse in general. In this volume, 16 specially written essays by leading figures in the field offer new thoughts and arguments about the paradoxes.

Industry Reviews

`'The collection is very good; arguably a must-read for everyone interested in the paradoxes. . . . The contributors to the volume represent a sizable subset of the important theorists in the field. Moreover, they do not simply rehash old ideas; the essays constitute genuine advancements. In light of the contributors prominence in the field, the present volume has a good claim to represent the state of the art'' Matti Eklund, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
