Liar's Paradox
I do agree. There is a complication alone on its subject. By looking at the earlier form of that paradox " I am lying". It refers to itself, thus becoming problematic.
One way of elucidating this type of self-referring sentence such as "What is this?" is by employing the context principle. On "I am lying", this type of sentences should not refer to itself for it to make sense.
"I am a female" > " I am lying" > " I am a male"
*a picture of a cat > "What is this?" > "A cat"
Thus, in statements such as "This sentence" it should refer to others and not itself. Does that satisfy it at all or not?
Attempting to clarify the ideas presented above:
I see that the sentence ""This sentence is not true" is true" as problematic as it contains 2 truth values.
*It is assumed - It is wrong to put a truth predicate on a sentence that already have a truth value in it.
The sentence "This sentence is not true" as problematic as it refer to itself, or to point out the core problem: the statement "This sentence".
- "This sentence is real" - "This sentence is square" - "This sentence is x"
*As stated above, if we could find a way to restate it to another way then the problem of contradiction would vanish. But there is still this problem of self-reference.
