Just for the record, I don't accept the notion that "anything" has a truth value. ...


Perhaps you misunderstood what I meant about "anything": I meant something asserted, a statement, anything one reads or hears, is this-or-that factual, and so on. For example, when I read an essay or article in a publication, what we used to call newspapers and such, I need to evaluate what I read for it's truth-value. The same in a publication by a biological evolutionist.


This will be fun. Please, elucidate for us all the truth-value of the following statement (statements fulfilling your above criteria). Let's see what you really have to bring to the table. Ready? Here it is:

This statement is false.

Have at it.
