DESCRIPTION:<p>Boris Kment (Princeton) will present "Ground and Paradox" at 11 in Arts West North Wing 556 on 16 August.</p>\n<p>Abstract: This paper discusses a cluster of interrelated paradoxes\, including those of set theory (e.g. Russell&rsquo\;s paradox)\, truth (e.g. the Liar)\, and the theory of properties (e.g. the paradox of heterologicality). I argue that an independently motivated theory of metaphysical grounding provides philosophically satisfying treatments of these paradoxes. It yields as corollaries a version of the iterative conception of set (which underlies the standard axiomatic set theory ZFC)\, and a solution to the property-theoretic paradoxes that rests on rejecting the law of excluded middle. The latter solution also applies to the paradoxes of truth\, which can be subsumed under the property-theoretic ones. The treatment of the property-theoretic paradoxes has structural similarities to Kripke&rsquo\;s approach to the Liar and promises to resolve outstanding difficulties for this position\, including revenge cases.</p>
