Abstract:
Some recent theories of truth say that there are different kinds of truth for different kinds of subject-matter. This paper shows that it those theories break down when the subject-matter is truth itself. They can’t make sense of what it means for a claim like ‘It’s true that dogs bark’ to be true.
