Somebody mentioned Etchemendy and Barwise's _The Liar_.  I'm having
trouble with my newsreader, so I couldn't follow-up that article.
This is a very good book, I'm told.  Similar results with ill-founded
sets are obtained in Patrick Grim's new book _The Incomplete Universe_.

On an unrelated note, I have in front of me a new book by Etchemendy,
_The Concept of Logical Consequence_.  This looks like a brilliant
book.  Etchemendy is arguing that both the syntactic and the orthodox
Tarskian semantic characterizations of the entailment relation fail
to capture what we truly mean by the concept of logical consequence.
The first part of this is hardly controversial, but the second is
novel.  I haven't read more than the first chapter yet, but this looks
like essential reading for all students of logic.  An original
first-rate treatise in the philosophy of logic is a rare thing indeed,
but here we have one. (Harvard U.P. 1990)
