Abstract

Anil Gupta and Nuel Belnap's The Revision Theory of Truth presents revision theoretic systems of circular definitions.

Among other things, Part II shows that there is a strong relationship between revision theories and the theory of inductive definitions. This relationship is exploited to show that S# and S* (and all plausible revision theories of circular definitions) are of complexity at least Π^.
