In philosophy, what is meant by "I Am False"?

Question

A philosophical statement "I Am False" as viewed in metaphysics

Answer 1

dont know.

Answer 2

The intent is to present a paradox without resolution. Effectively, a teaching device, in the manner of a Zen koan.
Print the words: "the statement on the other side is true" on a small card, then print: "the statement on the other side is false" on the opposite side.
Contemplate this card, turning it as you wish. You will understand.

Answer 3

40 years studying philosophy, and I've never heard that. It is metaphysically terrorizing, if accepted. You would have to despise your own existence.
"I" is on the list of most to least important words. You know the list, the one that altruistically puts "We" at the top. "I" ought to be the most diminuized of first, second, and third person, implies this list. I.e., "I" ought to be less than third person and certainly never first. "We" becomes first person. That is the entire purpose of Ayn Rand's novelette, "Anthem," to show people what altruism says about the "we" and the "I".
"I exist" demonstrates the presence of the individual; "We exist" is the erasing of the individual, the absence of the individual.
It is terrorizing to know that coercion can actually bring about the "we" and erase the "I", but "I am false", if believed, would erase yourself.

Answer 4

It is impossible to be a true statement, if you say it you must be true but if you are true and speaking truely you can't be false, it is self referencing, and also impossible, thats the basics of it.

Answer 5

I guess it means that you are not being yourself or not being true to yourself - maybe you are accepting things that you usually would not just to be accepted , either by friends and family or by society in general...

Answer 6

ego is illusory? individuality is counterproductive to society? sounds a bit totaltiarian to me!

Is it Marxist?

Answer 7

"I" is a mind construct, and has no reality!

Answer 8

may we add a "we"...
