Description
A paradox (from the Greek word meaning contrary to expectation) is a statement that seems self-contradictory but may be true. Exploring the distinction between truth and plausibility, the author presents a standardized, straightforward approach for deciphering paradoxes one that can be applied to all their forms, whether clever wordplay or more complex issues.
