Paradoxes from A to Z
This essential guide to paradoxes 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, Hempel's Raven, 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. He also includes a full glossary.
