Formal Theories of Truth

Truth is one of the oldest and most central topics in philosophy. Formal theories explore the connections between truth and logic, and they address truth-theoretic paradoxes such as the Liar. Three leading philosopher-logicians now present a concise overview of the main issues and ideas in formal theories of truth. Beall, Glanzberg, and Ripley explain key logical techniques on which such formal theories rely, providing the formal and logical background needed to develop formal theories of truth. They examine the most important truth-theoretic paradoxes, including the Liar paradoxes. They explore approaches that keep principles of truth simple while relying on nonclassical logic; approaches that preserve classical logic but do so by complicating the principles of truth; and approaches based on substructural logics that change the shape of the target consequence relation itself. Finally, inconsistency and revision theories are reviewed, and contrasted with the approaches previously discussed. For any reader who has a basic grounding in logic, this book offers an ideal guide to formal theories of truth.

<p>Pathfinders unpacks the performance improvement models that can be best used to aid organizations in going beyond training and achieving the needed performance results. Part I introduces the context of the attention converging on performance improvement, and why. Part II presents the preeminent performance improvement models that have stood as solid foundations on which to research theory or practice applications. It also offers a metamodel that provides a common framework for these models and shows how they relate to interventions that can be used to improve performance. Part III presents an unprecedented collection of biographies and bibliographies that provide an overview of the dominant performance improvement models.</p>
