Abstract

The inclosure schema has been proposed by Priest as the structure of many paradoxes (Priest in Beyond the limits of thought. Oxford University Press, 2002). The inclosure analysis has many virtues, especially as a step toward a uniform solution to the paradoxes. Inclosure suggests that paradoxes arise at the limits of thought because the limits can be surpassed, and also not; and so dialetheism is true. I explore the consequences of accepting Priest’s proposal. From a thoroughly dialetheic perspective, then, I find that the import of inclosure changes: (i) some limit phenomena cannot be contradictory, on pain of absurdity, and (ii) true contradictions are better thought of as local, not “limit” phenomena. Dialetheism leads back from the edge of thought, to the inconsistent in the every day.
