Abstract
- The article discusses the aspects of paradoxes. According to the author, there are several philosophers who disagree to resolve the paradox. W. V. Quine, a Harvard University logician, related paradoxes through his writing about the puzzle of a man who is condemned to be hanged. The first variation of the paradox taken from the article is the paradox of unexpected egg.
