Abstract

In his article, Vsevolod Ladov poses the important question – might paradoxes admit of a uniform solution? As an answer, I propose looking at an approach in which argues that we must recognise truth predicate as merely analogous to a vague predicate. The approach proponents (V. McGee, J. Tappenden, H. Field, G. Priest and D. Hyde) insist that there is a structural relation between sorites paradoxes and self-reference paradoxes and that they should have a unified solution.
