Consider the statement:(1) What I am saying cannot be proved.Let us suppose that this statement can be proved. Then it must be true, i.e., in its own words, it cannot be proved, which contradicts our supposition.Therefore the statement cannot be proved, since our supposition has led to a contradiction. In other words, the statement is true. In this way

PARADOXES AND SEMANTIC REPRESENTATION
1986Many researchers in Computer Science, Linguistics, Logic, and Philosophy have been discovering in various ways that analogues of the Liar paradox pose deep foundational problems for intensional semantics. In this survey paper I state my own view of what the problems are, and try to provide a broad perspective on the issues, with many references to the ...

All abstracts over-simplify. But the truth is close to the following: the ancient Greeks, true to stereotype, pioneered semantic paradoxes. There was no indigenous awareness of them east of the Euphrates River. They emerged piecemeal from the Greek love of irony and holistically from the Greek ambition to encompass the whole Truth.

Sorites Paradoxes and the Semantics of Vagueness
Philosophical Perspectives, 1994via a million applications of modus ponens and universal instantiation. To treat this line of reasoning as a reductio of the denial of (1) is to concede that 'bald' is not vague, and hence, in the general case, to concede that no predicates are vague. This conclusion is, of course, itself paradoxical. What, then, has gone wrong? In this paper I want to

The traditional approach to studying the origin of the so-called non-Logical ‘paradoxes’ was to treat them as immediate consequences of the logical ones discovered by Russell. Since most historians associate the discovery of these new ‘paradoxes’ with scholars such as George G.
