Consider the sentence 'This sentence is not true'. It seems that the sentence can be neither true nor not true, on pain of contradiction. Tim Maudlin sets out a novel account of logic and semantics which allows him to deal with certain notorious paradoxes which have bedevilled philosophical theories of truth. All philosophers interested in logic and language will findTruth and Paradoxa stimulating read.

Maudlin'sTruth and Paradoxoffers a new way out of [the Liar] paradox, which is worth exploring...I cannot do justice to many of his thought-provoking points...Maudlin does an excellent job in explaining why other theories of truth...are unsatisfying and also why he is driven to his own theory. --Byeong Lee, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
