is this statement true or false?

Question

"This statement is false"

Answer 1

Its neither false nor true

Answer 2

It clearly depends on how you interpret the question. The entirety of the statement itself is (assuming the statement referred to by this) is of course true. The statement referred to in the sentence is false, assuming it is correct.

Of course the statement might have been an opinion or some unknown and then it wouldn't be true or false.

Answer 3

You are making a TRUE statement about a statement being false.

Answer 4

the statement itself is true...you told us the truth by telling us
in quotes ...."This statement is false."...whatever falsehood that would potentially be implied is given to us by a truthful connotation
so you told us the truth about this false statement so it is true
for example if you were writing an essay and said something
like....oh this organization said such and such...and the statement
you could prove with evidence was false..and then proceeded
to say,,,the organization said All dogs bark everyday. And then
you said, "This statement is false." The statement you just made
is true.....about the statement in parenthesis....stating falsehood
of whatever such as in the example proving that it is a false
statement to claim that all dogs bark everyday...get it? Or even
without such ellaboration...still ...you asked a question prior
to your statement in parenthesis...so techinically speaking you've
got me frickin confused.......whatever!!!! I stick with the statement
is true trusting you are telling a fact....but since that can't be proven within a given context....I really dont know

Answer 5

Since you said your statement is false, I am pretentious that your statement is actually true, but since you said this statement is 'false' the statement that you made is false, because it really is true, and you did not classify it as being true, you classified it as being 'false' when it is actually 'true' therefore your statement is actually 'false'

Answer 6

hmmmm. we dont know that the sentence is about, but youre saying :this statement is false" well, the statement is there, period, whether its right or wrong, so its true that the statement must be false, wait no, its true because it cant be proven its false. wth, youre hurting my brain hahahahha and that is a TRUE fact ;)

Answer 7

It's true the statement is false. In analytic philosophy truth is only true of propositions.

Answer 8

what a question. I think the statement its true. maybe I'm wrong but it looks like a contradiction in logic. kinda like saying "Does God exist?" the fact that you know of a god means that it exist...does that make sense?...i think the statement its true because it exists....regardless of the quote being false.

Answer 9

this statement is false is a true statement

Answer 10

ok let´s get philosophical...i like it almost as much as sex...WEll i dont think words or sentences are true or false in themselves...Truth or falsity (do u say falsity???) is psychological thing...we use logic to decide whether something is true or false...the statement u say is neither true nor false since we dont know the context , we dont know you...but the statement in itself cant be true or false...
oooo my god i think it is too late 4 all of this!!!
