Message-ID: <4784@duke.UUCP> Date: Mon, 17-Sep-84 10:25:43 EDT Article-I.D.: duke.4784 Posted: Mon Sep 17 10:25:43 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 25-Sep-84 04:35:35 EDT References: <2390@dartvax.UUCP> Organization: Duke University Lines: 12 I guess the argument that Goedel senatnces are contradictory is a little weak -- I equivocated the word "contradictory" with the concept of "self-denying". My point is that a Goedel sentance is a statement of fact which cannot be evaluated, much as a Lier s-paradox sentace can't. (Is that how you spell the word for a person who lies?) I don't feel real contrite about it, however.... Charlie Martin (duke!crm)
