pp. [3] 160.”this book is a fresh and exciting introduction to a huge range of logical, ethical and mathematical paradoxes. ‘If there is an exception to every rule, then every rule must have at least one exception – except this one.’Welcome to the world of the paradox – something that appears to be true and yet contradicts itself. From Galileo’s Fan to the Cone of Democritus, and from the impossibility of motion to the infinite staircase, these mind-bending thought experiments, optical illusions and logical deceptions are one of the most interesting and accessible facets of philosophy”
