Talk:Socratic paradox

Untitled
I have some concern about the factuality of this page; it seems to me that "this sentence is false" is the paradigm case of the liar paradox; as I am somewhat well read in the liar paradox literature, and have never seen this sentence referred to as an instance of the "Socratic paradox", it seems to me that this article's claim that this is an instance of a socratic paradox is incorrect; what seems most likely is that the socratic paradox IS "I know that I know nothing", which is in turn an instance of a variant of the liar paradox (liar paradox = a:'A is false'; variant: A: 'All things of type B are false', where A is a B. (if memory serves, this would be a 'universal liar; apologies for not bothering with symbolic notation).

I feel this probable error calls the little information in the article into question. However, since I AM NOT somewhat well read in the literature discussing Socrates, I will stay my hand in hopes that a more able (or better motivated) editor will get the job done.
