i am not arguing whether there is anything certain or not. for example i am sure that i do excist. What i am arguing is that, unlike you i do not see logical fallacy in saying 'no thing is certain'. this statement does not contradict with itself. it would be contradictory if it is said like 'i am certain that nothing is certain'.

If nothing is certain, why would you need anything to be disproven, since logic itself would be uncertain? :) Saying "nothing is certain even this" means that some things must be certain.

if that is coz of my english, then i understand you. but if it is not then i would say, it is not nonsence. why shoud it be? saying that' nothing is certain even this statement itselve' is not logicaly false. could you show me that it is logically false?

When one says" nothing is certain" he also says that " even it is not certain whether anything is certain, because nothing is certain" .. Who says when one says "nothing is certain" he claims that he is certain about that? "Nothing is certain, even this statment itself is not certain" what would you say??

It would seem like an analytic proposition to say that the existent round square exists. But it doesn't exist.

But that would be a paradox, right? Like saying that 2+2=4 and 2+2=5...

what about if you make a statement such as..... "nothing is certain yet everything is certain"?

BTW do you think (and this is kind of a oxymoron) that the state of mind exist as a real matter or is it abstract?
