Paradox may be a statement or a question. When we observe that, is that true or false? What is the correct meaning? what is the correct conclusion? These are not related to logic. Dont be confused. you will understand everything when we get to the subject.
1. socrates bridge PARADOXES:
according to this paradox, socrates while travelling on a bridge. plato obstructed him middle and asked him to say a truth about him. if it is true, i will leave you. Other wise, i will throw you into the water. Then, socrates said, Now, you will throw me into the water.
If plato thought to throw him in to the water, then, what socrates said is correct. so, he had to let him go. if he left him go, what socrates told is lie. as plato was in dilemma, he couldnt take a decision. so he released socrates.
2. wife and husband paradox
This is a little bit interesting. This paradox is, we never decide that our husband tells is true or false. For example, when a husband is with his wife, if anyone ask is your wife good? if he tells yes she is. That may be because of the fear of his wife. But we cant tell whether that is true.
when the husband is with his wife, if he tells that his wife is bad, that means, she gives him more freedom to say she is bad. it means, definitely his wife is good. in this case also, what he said is false.
3. omnipotence paradox
if god is the most powerful, it is the challenge to the god to create a stone even he cant lift, if god creates the stone even he cant lift, becouse he cant lift it and the reason every thing is possible to god then he is not god, if he cant create the stone, there is a stone even the god cant create, he is not god. at lest, we didnt leave god also.
Can we see more paradox like this because this is so much interested.
