A paradox can be defined as an unacceptable conclusion derived by
apparently acceptable reasoning from apparently acceptable
premises. Many paradoxes raise serious philosophical problems, and
they are associated with crises of thought and revolutionary
advances. The expanded and revised third edition of this intriguing
book considers a range of knotty paradoxes including Zeno's
paradoxical claim that the runner can never overtake the tortoise,
a new chapter on paradoxes about morals, paradoxes about belief,
and hardest of all, paradoxes about truth. The discussion uses a
minimum of technicality but also grapples with complicated and
difficult considerations, and is accompanied by helpful questions
designed to engage the reader with the arguments. The result is not
only an explanation of paradoxes but also an excellent introduction
to philosophical thinking.
