This book is about one of the most baffling of all paradoxes--the famous Liar paradox. Suppose we say: "We are lying now." Then if we are lying, we are telling the truth; and if we are telling the truth we are lying. This paradox is more than an intriguing puzzle, since it involves the concept of truth. Thus any coherent theory of truth must deal with the Liar. Keith Simmons discusses the solutions proposed by medieval philosophers and offers his own solutions and in the process assesses other contemporary attempts to solve the paradox. Unlike such attempts, Simmons' "singularity" solution does not abandon classical semantics and does not appeal to the kind of hierarchical view found in Barwise's and Etchemendy's The Liar. Moreover, Simmons' solution resolves the vexing problem of semantic universality--the problem of whether there are semantic concepts beyond the expressive reach of a natural language such as English.

Oliver Lyon, a famous portrait artist living in London, is invited to Hertfordshire to the estate of Sir David Ashmore where the grand 90-year-old gentleman will sit for his portrait. Lyon arrives to a dinner party a day before the scheduled sitting. At the table his attention is immediately drawn to the face of a man he thinks is a gallant adventurer, Colonel Capadose, so enterprising and handsome and brave he seems. He listens to his spirited yet unpretentious discourse as he talks of his good fortunes and risky gambles. Lyon also notices a woman, Everina Brant, he had known many years ago who is attending to the exploits of this clever fellow with an expression of warmth and affection which makes Lyon jealous: he had proposed to this woman who had been his lover, but she had kindly refused. Lyon discovers that Everina was Mrs. Capadose. He speaks with them after dinner and is pleased to learn that Mrs. Capadose is still the modest, unassuming lady he remembered. The next day he meets Sir David, and as they sit together and Lyon begins the portrait, he learns from the older man that Colonel Capadose is a "thumping liar." He is no scoundrel and means no harm; he doesn't steal nor cheat: he just can't seem to offer a straightforward response. From this moment on, Lyon hatches many plots to investigate the state of the Capadose marriage, the reason for the lies, the effect of this deceitful man on his wife, the possibilities of different circumstances for Mrs. Capadose, what might have happened had the past gone differently. Lyon's disposition now makes him a manipulator of the entire situation as he tries to find a way to prove Colonel Capadose's falsehoods. At the end of the story the reader wonders who the real liar is. Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher.

The #1 New York Times bestseller that explains why bullshit is far more dangerous than lying One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize bullshit and to avoid being taken in by it. So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern. We have no clear understanding of what bullshit is, why there is so much of it, or what functions it serves. And we lack a conscientiously developed appreciation of what it means to us. In other words, as Harry Frankfurt writes, "we have no theory." Frankfurt, one of the world's most influential moral philosophers, attempts to build such a theory here. With his characteristic combination of philosophical acuity, psychological insight, and wry humor, Frankfurt proceeds by exploring how bullshit and the related concept of humbug are distinct from lying. He argues that bullshitters misrepresent themselves to their audience not as liars do, that is, by deliberately making false claims about what is true. In fact, bullshit need not be untrue at all. Rather, bullshitters seek to convey a certain impression of themselves without being concerned about whether anything at all is true. They quietly change the rules governing their end of the conversation so that claims about truth and falsity are irrelevant. Frankfurt concludes that although bullshit can take many innocent forms, excessive indulgence in it can eventually undermine the practitioner's capacity to tell the truth in a way that lying does not. Liars at least acknowledge that it matters what is true. By virtue of this, Frankfurt writes, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.

Andinmy haste, I said: “Allmenare Liars” 1 —Psalms 116:11 The Original Lie Philosophical analysis often reveals and seldom solves paradoxes. To quote Stephen Read: A paradox arises when an unacceptable conclusion is supported by a plausible argument from apparently acceptable premises. [...] So three di?erent reactions to the paradoxes are possible: to show that the r- soning is fallacious; or that the premises are not true after all; or that 2 the conclusion can in fact be accepted. There are sometimes elaborate ways to endorse a paradoxical conc- sion. One might be prepared to concede that indeed there are a number of grains that make a heap, but no possibility to know this number. However, some paradoxes are more threatening than others; showing the conclusiontobeacceptableisnotaseriousoption,iftheacceptanceleads to triviality. Among semantic paradoxes, the Liar (in any of its versions) 3 o?ers as its conclusion a bullet no one would be willing to bite. One of the most famous versions of the Liar Paradox was proposed by Epimenides, though its attribution to the Cretan poet and philosopher has only a relatively recent history. It seems indeed that Epimenides was mentioned neither in ancient nor in medieval treatments of the Liar 1 Jewish Publication Society translation. 2 Read [1].
