Why "Non-cognitivist"?
Irvine's proposed solution to the paradox is listed as a "non-cognitivist" solution. It's not clear why, though. I presume it is in reference to the cognitivist theory of ethics, but I'm not sure such a reference is appropriate. Maybe "non-truth-conditional" would be more appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thrilway (talk • contribs) 15:28, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

Sourceless Arthur Prior
In the section on Arthur Prior, there are no sources? I've taken a look round the internet but every mention of him seems to just link back to this article, and I can't find anything about him and the liar paradox outside of it. Also no sources for Charles Sanders Pierce and John Buridan, which seem equally recursive in my brief search on them. 192.76.8.84 (talk) 11:14, 22 January 2023 (UTC)


 * the closest thing I've been able to find is this extract by Roy A. Sorensen in the Oxford Handbook of Truth
 * "The medieval logician Jean Buridan’s solution was to challenge this synonymy. His differentiator is the narcissistic principle that every statement implies its own truth- a principle that continues to attract adherents such as Eugene Mills (1998)."
 * then later
 * "According to Buridan, proposition P implicitly ascribes truth to itself" 192.76.8.81 (talk) 14:49, 26 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Added a source for Prior. Happy editing, Paradoctor (talk) 09:32, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
