Парадокс Ябло

В 1993 опубликовал «Парадокс Ябло»: пример парадокса лжеца, не содержащего самореференции:

Возьмём бесконечное число утверждений:

• (S₁): для всех k > 1, S_k есть ложь
• (S₂): для всех k > 2, S_k есть ложь
• (S₃): для всех k > 3, S_k есть ложь
• ...
• ...

В частности, следует обратить особое внимание на тот факт, что каждое утверждение ничего не говорит о своей собственной истинности или ложности, даже косвенным способом, т.к. оно утверждает что-то лишь об утверждениях с большими номерами, и для всех них это тоже верно.

Возьмём любое утверждение S_k. Ложно оно или истинно? Предположим, что истинно. Тогда S_k+1, S_k+2 итд. все ложны. Но ложность S_k+2, S_k+3, и т.д. — как раз то, что утверждает S_k+1. Поэтому получаем противоречие: с одной стороны S_k+1 ложно (прямое следствие истинности S_k), с другой стороны истинно (прямо следствие ложности S_k+2, S_k+3, S_k+n). Раз мы достигли противоречия, значит, наше предположение было неверным, и S_kна самом деле ложно. Это верно для любого k.

Ряд статей по философии сознания, философии языка и метафизике широко обсуждались в научных кругах. В 2012 году стал приглашенным лектором Оксфордского университета на ежегодных философских лекциях Джона Локка Лекциях Джона Локка . На основе их материала была написана книга «Aboutness», о которой Адам Мортон, профессор университета Британской Колумбии, писал: «Это важная и многообещающая книга, которую философы будут обсуждать ещё очень долго»^[2].

В последнее время привлек внимание своими работами в философии математики^[3].
