Scharp presents an intriguing example of conceptual engineering, proposing to discard our apparently inconsistent concept of truth and replace it with two shiny new and arguably consistent concepts. In doing so, he provides an informative and welcome survey of current approaches to truth and paradox, rightly urging that a unified theory of the two notions is essential. There is much to be learned from his discussion. Stephen Read, The Philosophical Quarterly rich and rewarding ... I find the book very productive to engage with; its vision, clarity of purpose, and creativity all come in large measures... Scharp's voice is indispensable in this conversation. David Ripley, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
