Welcome to the website of our project!  The Liar and its Revenge in Context was an FWF-funded research project on truth, semantic paradox, and context-dependence (P29716-G24). The project systematically explored the limitations of non-classical solutions to the paradoxes, and developed a novel, fully classical contextualist approach – one that, unlike existing approaches, allows for absolutely unrestricted quantification.

The project ran from January 2017 to July 2021. The principal investigator of the project was Dr Julien Murzi. The project employed two post-doctoral researches:  Dr Lorenzo Rossi and Dr Brett Topey.

In the course of our project, we hosted four workshops:

• A two-day workshop on truth, deflationism, and conservativeness (January 26-27, 2018).
• A a three-day workshop on revenge paradoxes (June 27-29, 2018).
• A one-day workshop on truth and knowledge (September 14, 2018)
• A three-day workshop on contextualist theories of truth and paradox (June 26-28, 2019).
