I was looking for paradoxes that logical people hold as true — Philosophim
The Wikipedia link I provided is a list of paradoxes (which logical people hold as true). — Agent Smith

You might know they hold them as true, but how do you know they are logical? — Janus
What logical thinker holds onto something that leads into a paradox, agrees that the paradox is sound, but still insists on holding onto logic that leads to that specific paradox? — Philosophim
Paradoxes break (classical) logic. — Agent Smith
but that is not to trivialise logic; playing with language is what we do.really just playing with language — T Clark
paradoxes break math — Agent Smith
Bear with me...this is mainly guesswork. — Agent Smith
No, it doesn't. 2+2 still makes 4, regardless of Russell. — Banno
What do we mean a logical system is trivial? Simply this: every proposition is true — Agent Smith
...the official position... — Agent Smith
As Dana Scott has put it, “It is to be understood from the start that Russell’s paradox is not to be regarded as a disaster. It and the related paradoxes show that the naïve notion of all-inclusive collections is untenable. That Is an interesting result, no doubt about it”. — SEP, Russell’s Paradox
I didn't notice this earlier, so I'll try to give an answer to this. I'm no mathematician, so the answer can be quite difficult to understand. Hopefully I make sense to you.Are you, if I may ask, trying to say that all paradoxes can be reduced to a negative self-referential paradox?
I'd like to see you do that with Zeno's paradoxes if you don't mind that is. Can you? — Agent Smith
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
