Abstract
READ, Stephen. The liar and the new t-schema. discus.filos [online]. 2010, vol.11, n.17, pp.119-137. ISSN 0124-6127.
Since Tarski published his study of the concept of truth in the 1930s, it has been orthodox practice to suppose that every instance of the T-schema is true. However, some instances of the schema are false. These include the paradoxical instances exemplified by the Liar sentence. It is shown that a better schema allows a uniform treatment of truth in which the semantic paradoxes turn out to be simply false.
