    It is not the case that Dialetheism is true.

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.The apparent soundness of paradox-generating arguments reveals defects in our logical or semantic frameworks, not true contradictions in reality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Tarski's hierarchy of metalanguages dissolves the Liar Paradox by showing self-referential truth attributions are category errors, not genuine contradictions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If a diagnosis-based solution exists for even one paradox class, the inference from 'sound-seeming contradictions' to dialetheism is not compulsory.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Explosion (ex contradictione quodlibet) is a structural feature of classical logic: accepting any true contradiction trivializes all inference.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Dialetheism can only avoid trivialism by adopting paraconsistent logic, but this move abandons the very logical norms underwriting 'soundness' in P1.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.An argument whose conclusion requires rejecting the logical framework used to certify its own soundness is self-undermining, not dialectically compelling.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.For each paradox of this kind, there appears to be a perfectly sound argument ending in a contradiction.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If such arguments are sound, then dialetheism is true.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
