A new way to analyse self-referential and contradictory sentences
EPIMENIDES the Cretan, a philosopher of the 6th century BC, is said to
have uttered the sentence, "All Cretans are liars". As he himself was
a Cretan, this gave rise to a paradox—if he were telling the truth,
then he would be a liar. Depending on how one defines a liar, the
paradox is resolvable; he could have been a habitual liar who was
telling the truth in this one instance. However, a stronger version of
the paradox, known as the Liar paradox-"this sentence is false"-is not
resolvable in conventional logic systems.
