""is an obscene term" is heterological" - should have the same meaning (same meaning, synonym) as ""is an obscene expression" is not an obscene expression" (correct). - Problem: this definition ""is heterological" is heterologous" would be synonym with ""is heterological "is not heterological" - contradiction. --- I 88f Grellings Paradox/(s): a general term "is not applicable to itself" is not applicable to itself. Namely-rider/Ryle: (1) "heterological" lacks the property for which it stands, namely the absence of the property for which it stands, namely ... recourse. - Ryle: no property is ever mentioned. Geach: correct: (2) "... lacks the property for which "heterological" stands. (1) is an extension of "heterological", and just true of those words, of which (2) is not true Grelling's paradox. (1) is not at all ambiguous - otherwise it would always have to refer to the same property in all events of (1), e.g. "French".... Solution/Geach: "the property for which it stands" never denotes any specifiable property. - Various heterological epithets stand for different properties. >Paradox.}, note = { Gea I P.T.
