Abstract
Gupta's and Belnap's Revision Theory of Truth defends the legitimacy of cir
cular definitions. Circularity, however, forces us to reconsider our concep
tion of meaning. A readjustment of some standard theses about meaning is he
re proposed, by relying on a novel version of the sense-reference distincti
on.
