  • Abstract
    The author points out that truth and falsehood are not open to supplementation by other truth values in the way that early work in many-valued logic, proposed, nor is truth amenable to gradation in the way that is suggested by the terminology of degrees of truth. He maintains that nevertheless there may be a degree of untruth: one untruth may be more or less false than another is. He discusses a variety of recent attempts to make some sense of degrees of untruth (or degrees of truth).<>
