 Currently, no commonly agreed upon solution to the paradoxes of self-reference exists. They continue to pose foundational problems in semantics and set theory. No claim can be made to a solid foundation for these subjects until a satisfactory solution to the paradoxes has been provided. Problems surface when it comes to formalising semantics (the concept of truth) and set theory. If formalising the intuitive, “naive” understanding of these subjects, inconsistent systems linger as the paradoxes will be formalisable in these systems.
