Quick turtle – doesn’t it sound absurdly? Like a paradox? This is the list of the most famous logical and philosophical paradoxes:

 

·         Paradox of entailment: Inconsistent premises always make an argument valid.

·         Raven paradox (or Hempel's Ravens): Observing a red apple increases the likelihood of all ravens being black.

·         Horse paradox: All horses are the same color.

·         Unexpected hanging paradox: The day of the hanging will be a surprise, so it cannot happen at all, so it will be a surprise. The Bottle Imp paradox uses similar logic.

·         Drinker paradox: In any non-empty pub, there is a customer such that, if he or she drinks, everybody in the pub drinks.

·         Carroll's paradox: "Whatever Logic is good enough to tell me is worth writing down..."

·         Lottery paradox: it is philosophically justifiable to believe that every individual lottery ticket won't win, but not justifiable to believe that no lottery ticket will win.
