  1. 1. A Brief History Of The Paradox

    A concise survey of the major philosophical and logical paradoxes from antiquity to modern times, examining cases such as Zeno’s puzzles, the liar, the sorites, and Russell’s set-theoretic paradox, and showing how they expose tensions in concepts of truth, reference, vagueness, and infinity; the book analyzes historical and contemporary responses (type-theoretic, semantic, paraconsistent, contextualist, and revisionary approaches) and argues that paradoxes function as productive tools for revealing limits of our concepts and prompting theoretical refinement.
