The Liar Cannot Be Solved

Attempting to resolve the Liar paradox in a simple and straightforward way, Stephen Read suggests a modification of Tarski's famous truth-schema that he claims turns the Liar paradox into an innocent sentence, which is simply false. In my note I examine the way Read tries to solve the paradox and argue that some doubts can be raised regarding the successfulness of his attempt. I analyze his project from two independent points of view. First, I try to shed light on some weak points in Read's argument, then I present my own arguments to the effect that any revision of Tarski's truth-schema can, in principle, be only a part of the solution to the Liar paradox.
