Paradoxes and their Resolutions AVI Sion

Paradoxes and their Resolutions by Avi Sion collects in one volume the essays that he has written in the past (over a period of some 27 years) on this subject. It comprises expositions and resolutions of many (though not all) ancient and modern paradoxes, including: the Protagoras-Euathlus paradox, the Liar paradox and the Sorites paradox, Russell's paradox and its derivatives the Barber paradox and the Master Catalogue paradox, Grelling's paradox, Hempel's paradox of confirmation, and Goodman's paradox of prediction. This volume also presents and comments on some of the antinomic discourse found in some Buddhist texts (namely, in Nagarjuna and in the Diamond Sutra).
