I am lying to you.

I am lying to you.



Analyze this proposition for truth value. Here is a great summary of the problem:

"if true, it would imply that the speaker is lying about lying and therefore telling the truth, rendering the statement false; if false, it means that he or she is in fact telling the truth, which would imply that he or she is lying to us, rendering the statement true. This is a paradox that seems to trap us every way we look at it."
