The latter include, for instance, contexts that generate Liar Paradox. Their central claim is that truth is a circular concept. In support of this claim they provide a widely applicable theory (the revision theory) of circular concepts. Under the revision theory, when truth is seen as circular both its ordinary features and its pathological features fall into a simple understandable pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Revision Theory of Truth\u003c\/i\u003e is unique in placing truth in the context of a general theory of definitions. This theory makes sense of arbitrary systems of mutually interdependent concepts, of which circular concepts, such as truth, are but a special case.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42899625607423,"sku":"9780262526951","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/products\/9780262526951-us-300.jpg?v=1654560612","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780262526951","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
