Humm ... the relativist absolutist nature of liberalism is a good one.

What in the world are you talking about? Are you talking about modern logic as in the modern form of the science of valid inferences or are you talking about something else?

Its the most famous paradox in all of philosophy. Its been around for a few thousand years for fuck sake. And I think its an excellent primer if one is interested in such fields of philosophy.

I started writing a reply explaining what applications have been made of the mathematical techniques that have been spawned by reflection on the liar paradox, and some central metamathematical theorems (most importantly Tarski's Theoem on the indefinability of arithmetical truth) that have been proven as a result. In a quite clear sense these should provide an answer to Έρεβος's question - mathematical applications are applications par excellence. However, I assume that what he is asking for are applications to moral and political issues and the like, and spelling out the mathematical applications won't answer that. I don't think one is unwarranted in being interested in an issue in philosophy that does not have any application to those sorts of concerns.

Sounds like you know a whole lot about logic.
