Revenge and Expressibilty
There is a standard objection against purported explanations of how a
language L can express the notion of truth in L. According to this
objection, such explanations avoid one paradox (namely the Liar) only
to succumb to another of the same kind. Even if a language can
contain its own truth-predicate, we can identify another intelligible
notion it cannot express, on pain of contradiction via Liar-like
reasoning. This paper seeks to undermine such “revenge” by bringing
to light an unsupported assumption on which it must rest—an assumption
about what is required for a language to express a notion.
