Liar Speaks the Truth : A Defense of the Revision Theory of Truth

In this book Yaqub describes a simple conception of truth and shows that it yields a semantical theory that accommodates the whole range of our seemingly conflicting intuitions about truth. This conception takes the Tarskian biconditionals (such as "The sentence `Johannes loved Clara' is true if and only if Johannes loved Clara") as correctly and completely defining the notion of truth. He offers a comprehensive defense of the semantical theory by developing consistent and adequate formal semantics for languages in which all sorts of problematic sentences can be constructed. Yaqub concludes by introducing a logic of truth that further demonstrates the adequacy of this theory.
