PARADOX (Gr. treat, beyond, contrary to, Sofia, opinion) , a proposition or statement which appears to be at variance with generally-received opinion , or which apparently is self-contradictory, absurd or untrue, but either contains a concealed truth or may on examination be proved to be true. A " paradox " has been compared with a " paralogism " (irapa, Xeyos, reason ), as that which is contrary to opinion only and not contrary to reason , but it is frequently used in the sense of that which is really absurd or untrue.End of Article: PARADOX (Gr. treat, beyond, contrary to, Sofia, opinion) If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
