  abstract: Roy T. Cook examines the Yablo paradox, a paradoxical, infinite sequence of sentences, each of which entails the falsity of all others that follow it. He focuses on questions of characterization, circularity and generalizability, and pays special attention to the idea that it provides us with a semantic paradox that involves no circularity.
