On the Self-Reference of Yablo's Paradox

Evgeny Borisov's argument against Bueno and Colyvan is not correct. At the same time, their approach is not free of problems as well, as Jeffrey Ketland demonstrated. The arguments Borisov discusses along with approaches based on the theory of non-well-founded sets show that one of the principal problems in the debate on Yablo's paradox consists in the obscurity of the concept of self-reference.
