Can you provide examples of self-contradiction in logic?

Self-contradiction in logic occurs when a statement contradicts itself or leads to a logical inconsistency. One example is the statement "This statement is false." If the statement is true, then it must be false, but if it is false, then it must be true, creating a paradox. Another example is the statement "I always lie," which leads to a similar contradiction.


Which of the following statements implies a contradiction?

The statement "I always tell the truth" implies a contradiction because if the person always tells the truth, then they cannot lie, but if they were lying about always telling the truth, it would create a contradiction.


How can we demonstrate the validity of a statement using proof by absurdity or contradiction?

What is it called when there is an equation that is always true?

an identity? maybe a tautology? Comment by mgately: In the field of discrete mathematics (simplified the study of logic) any expression which always evaluates to true is in fact called a tautology. While less cool sounding, an expression which always evaluates to false is just called a contradiction.
