Eubulides of Miletus

Eubulides of Miletus was an ancient Greek philosopher, active around the 4th century BCE. He is best known for his paradoxes, which often challenge our understanding of concepts like truth and identity. One of his famous paradoxes involves a scenario where a person says, "I am lying." This creates a logical puzzle about whether the statement is true or false. Eubulides’ work has influenced later philosophers, particularly in discussions of logic, language, and the nature of paradoxes. His ideas remain relevant in philosophy and logic today.
