university of minnesota During the Winter of 2011 i visited SaDaf and gave a series of talks based on the central chapters of my manuscript on the yablo paradox. The following year, i visited again, and was pleased and honored to find out that eduardo Barrio and six of his students had written ‘responses ’ that addressed the claims and arguments found in the manuscript, as well as explored new directions in which to take the ideas and themes found there. These comments reflect my thoughts on these responses (also collected in this issue), as well as my thoughts on further issues that arose during the symposium that was based on the papers and during the many hours i spent talking and working with eduardo and his students
