Buridan's bridge
Buridan's Bridge (also known as Sophism 17) is described by Jean Buridan, one of the most famous and influential philosophers of the Late Middle Ages, in his book ''Sophismata''. Sophism 17 is a self-referenced paradox that involves a proposition pronounced about an event that might or might not happen in the future.
==The sophism==
The sophism is:
Socrates's response puts Plato in a difficult situation. He could not throw Socrates into the water, because if he did he would violate his promise to let Socrates to cross the bridge if he speaks the truth. On the other hand, if Plato allows Socrates to cross the bridge it would mean that Socrates spoke untruth when he replied: "You are going to throw me into the water". In that case Socrates should have been thrown into the water. In other words, Socrates could be allowed to cross the bridge if and only if he could not be.〔
