The liar and the new t-schemaKeywords: bradwardine, carnap, davidson, t-scheme, liar paradox, tarski, truth-theory. Abstract: since tarski published his study of the concept of truth in the 1930s, it has been orthodox practice to suppose that every instance of the t-schema is true. however, some instances of the schema are false. these include the paradoxical instances exemplified by the liar sentence. it is shown that a better schema allows a uniform treatment of truth in which the semantic paradoxes turn out to be simply false.
