| Abstract: | The theory of levels of language was designed for the solution of the so-called ‘semantical paradoxes’ in logic, and it is to this function that its uses have for the most part been confined. It is the purpose of this essay to show that the theory need not remain the exclusive property of logicians and mathematicians; on the contrary, by an analogy with the arts (and particularly the literary arts) it can be made to yield an aesthetic principle of a good deal of power and subtlety. |
