在这个对真理逻辑的严格调查中，Anil Gupta和Nuel Belnap解释了真理的概念如何在普通和病理背景下起作用。后者包括，例如，生成Liar Paradise的上下文。他们的核心主张是真理是一个循环的概念。为了支持这一主张，他们提供了一个广泛适用的循环概念理论（“修正理论”）。在修正理论下，当真理被视为循环时，它的普通特征和病理特征都落入一种简单可理解的模式。真理的修正理论在将真理置于定义的一般理论的语境中方面是独一无二的。这个理论使相互依赖的概念的任意系统变得有意义，其中循环概念，如真理，只是一个特例。
In this rigorous investigation into the logic of truth Anil Gupta and Nuel Belnap explain how the concept of truth works in both ordinary and pathological contexts. The latter include, for instance, contexts that generate Liar Paradox. Their central claim is that truth is a circular concept. In support of this claim they provide a widely applicable theory (the "revision theory") of circular concepts. Under the revision theory, when truth is seen as circular both its ordinary features and its pathological features fall into a simple understandable pattern. The Revision Theory of Truth is unique in placing truth in the context of a general theory of definitions. This theory makes sense of arbitrary systems of mutually interdependent concepts, of which circular concepts, such as truth, are but a special case.
