TLDR
A new way of handling the logical paradoxes is suggested, where instead of trying to dissolve them, or explain what has gone wrong, the authors should accept them and learn to come to live with them.
Abstract
The purpose of the present paper is to suggest a new way of handling the logical paradoxes. Instead of trying to dissolve them, or explain what has gone wrong, we should accept them and learn to come to live with them. This is argued in Sections I and II. For obvious reasons this will require the abandonment, or at least modification, of 'classical' logic. A way to do this is suggested in Section III. Sections IV and V discuss some implications of this approach to paradoxes.

Logical Foundations of Evidential Reasoning with Contradictory Information

TL;DR: Two levels of epistemic logics are employed to provide logical foundations for evidential reasoning with this kind of information, including the well-known Belnap–Dunn four-valued logic and epistemic logic S5.

The Semantic Conception of Truth and the Foundations of Semantics

TL;DR: In this article, the notion of material adequacy of a definition of truth is defined as follows: if all these equivalences follow from it, then the definition is true if, and only if, p.X is true.
