Abstract
Hartry Field's book Saving Truth from Paradox is without question among the best works on truth and the liar paradox in the analytic tradition; it should become the standard reference on the liar paradox for years to come. Field offers lucid, technically accurate but accessible discussions of most of the approaches to the liar paradox that are currently being debated in the literature. He also defends his favoured approach, which requires a change from classical to paracomplete logic. After a brief flirtation with dialetheism around the turn of the century, he now offers a novel, powerful and technically dazzling way of dealing with the liar paradox to accompany his influential version of disquotationalism.1 Together they provide a unified view of the nature and logic of truth.2 Field's solution to the liar, together with his fair and charitable discussion of the alternatives, make this book required reading by anyone remotely interested in issues associated with truth, philosophical logic and philosophy of language.
