This updated second edition is the essential
guide to paradoxes and takes the reader on a lively tour of puzzles
that have taxed thinkers from Zeno to Galileo and Lewis Carroll to
Bertrand Russell. Michael Clark uncovers an array of conundrums, such
as Achilles and the Tortoise, Theseus' Ship and the Prisoners' Dilemma,
taking in subjects as diverse as knowledge, ethics, science, art and
politics.
Clark discusses each paradox in non-technical terms, considering its
significance and looking at likely solutions. Including a full
glossary, Paradoxes
from A to Z is a refreshing alternative to traditional
philosophical introductions.
