View source for The Eubulides Paradox


According to Wikipedia Eubulides (Greek: Εὑβουλίδης; fl. 4th century BCE) of Miletus was a philosopher of the Megarian school, and a pupil of Euclid of Megara. He is famous for his paradoxes<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eubulides Eubulides in Wikipedia</ref>

His most famous paradox is <b>The Liar (pseudomenos) paradox</b>, which is similar to the famous paradox of Epimenides the Cretan. 
A man says: "What I am saying now is a lie." If the statement is true, then he is lying, even though the statement is true. If the statement is a lie, then he is not actually lying, even though the statement is a lie. Thus, if the speaker is lying, he tells the truth, and vice versa.
