Introduction······ Since human beings moved from barbarism to civilization, they have not only tried hard to explore the mysteries of the objective world, but also persistently explored the mysteries of human thinking: not only looking for the laws of the objective world, but also looking for the laws of human thinking.In the process of exploring the objective world, human beings will find that there are many unknowns in front of them, and various mistakes will also occur.But in the process of exploring the human mind, apart from those situations, there is a special phenomenon - paradox. The characteristics of paradox: according to the correct logical reasoning, but get logical contradictions, because of this characteristic, paradox has always been the concern of logic.

In this book, the author shows all kinds of paradoxes with popular and vivid stories, which can make readers experience the characteristics of paradoxes in a relaxed and happy way, and also make readers desire to solve the paradoxes.However, the seemingly simple paradox is not easy to solve, and requires a solid logical foundation, as well as certain philosophical literacy and linguistic knowledge, so it is impossible to discuss how to solve the paradox in detail in this book, but Just present an open space. This is a great book to open the door of philosophy to young students.It combines the essence of Chinese and Western philosophies, but it is so interesting and vivid...
