    Extractions: The Eleatic school of philosophers was founded by the religious thinker and poet Xenophanes (born c. 570 BC), whose main teaching was that the universe is singular, eternal, and unchanging.  "The all is one."  According to this view, as developed by later members of the Eleatic school, the appearances of multiplicity, change, and motion are mere illusions.  Interestingly, the colony of Elea was founded by a group of Ionian Greeks who, in 545 BC, had been besieged in their seaport city of Phocaea by an invading Persian army, and were ultimately forced to evacuate by sea.  They sailed to the island of Corsica , and occupied it after a terrible sea battle with the navies of  Carthage and the Etruscans.  Just ten years later, in 535 BC, the Carthagians and Etruscans regained the island, driving the Phocaean refugees once again into the sea.  This time they landed on the southwestern coast of Italy and founded the colony of Elea , seizing the site from the native Oenotrians.  All this happened within the lifetime of Xenophanes, himself a wandering exile from his native city of

In this short Appendix I will discuss these results and their methodological consequences (or lack of them). All these results have been obtained by means of the so-called model theory . This is a very specific approach to investigation of formal theories as mathematical objects. Model theory is using the full power of set theory. Its results and proofs can be formalized in the set theory ZFC Model theory is investigation of formal theories in the metatheory ZFC. The main structures of model theory are interpretations .

69. Liar Paradox [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]
    The Liar paradox has been discussed continually in philosophy since the middle The Strengthened Liar paradox begins with the Strengthened Liar Sentence  
    http://www.iep.utm.edu/p/par-liar.htm
    
    Extractions: Liar Paradox The Liar Paradox is an argument that arrives at a contradiction by reasoning about a Liar Sentence. The classical Liar Sentence is the following self-referential sentence: (1) This sentence is false. Experts in the field of philosophical logic have never agreed on the way out of the trouble despite 2,300 years of attention. Here is the troublea sketch of the Liar Argument that reveals the contradiction: The argument depends upon a few more assumptions and steps, but these are apparently as uncontroversial as those above. The contradictory result throws us into the lion's den of semantic incoherence. This article explores the details of the principal attempts to resolve the paradox. Most logical paradoxes are based on circular definitions or self-referential statements, and the liar paradox is no exception. Many people, when first encountering the Liar Paradox, will react by saying that the Liar Sentence must be meaningless. This popular solution does stop the argument of the paradox, but it isn't an adequate solution if it answers the question, "Why is the Liar Sentence meaningless?" simply with the ad hoc remark, "Otherwise we get a paradox." An adequate solution would offer a more systematic treatment. For example, the sentence, "This sentence is in English," is very similar to the Liar Sentence. Is it meaningless, too? What ingredients of the Liar Sentence make it meaningless such that other sentences with those same ingredients will also be meaningless? Are disjunctions with the Liar Sentence also meaningless? The questions continue, and an adequate solution should address them systematically.

71. Russell's Paradox [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]
    Russell s paradox represents either of two interrelated logical antinomies. The paradox was named after Bertrand Russell, who discovered it in 1901.  
    http://www.iep.utm.edu/p/par-russ.htm
    
    Extractions: Russell's Paradox Russell's paradox represents either of two interrelated logical antinomies. The most commonly discussed form is a contradiction arising in the logic of sets or classes. Some classes (or sets) seem to be members of themselves, while some do not. The class of all classes is itself a class, and so it seems to be in itself. The null or empty class, however, must not be a member of itself. However, suppose that we can form a class of all classes (or sets) that, like the null class, are not included in themselves. The paradox arises from asking the question of whether this class is in itself. It is if and only if it is not. The other form is a contradiction involving properties. Some properties seem to apply to themselves, while others do not. The property of being a property is itself a property, while the propery of being a cat is not itself a cat. Consider the property that something has just in case it is a property (like that of being a cat ) that does not apply to itself. Does this property apply to itself? Once again, from either assumption, the opposite follows. The paradox was named after Bertrand Russell, who discovered it in 1901.

72. Introduction To Gnosis #20
    An article by Richard Smoley on the historical Gurdjieff and his teachings. Originally published in Gnosis magazine.  
    http://www.lumen.org/intros/intro20.html
    
    Extractions: by Richard Smoley He was by any account one of the most remarkable men the human race has produced. His name was George Ivanovich Gurdjieff (pronounced "gur-jeef" or "gur-jeff"), and he proved to be one of the most challenging, paradoxical, and enigmatic spiritual teachers of our time. His principal biographer called him "a fraud, a liar, a cheat, a scoundrel" - and then went on to note his "sympathy, compassion, charity," and his "eccentric code of honor."1 He is chiefly remembered for imparting, through the most extraordinary and difficult methods, the fundamentals of an esoteric system known as the Fourth Way - also called, austerely, "the Work." What is this Fourth Way? Gurdjieff said there were three comparatively common ways to spiritual attainment: the way of the fakir, that is, the man who masters his physical organism to the point where he can, say, stand "motionless in the same position for hours, days, months, or years."2 The second is the way of the monk, the man who masters his emotions through prayer and devotional practices. The third way is the way of the yogi, the man who gains control of his mind. Yet, Gurdjieff believed, none of these ways is complete in itself. A man, for example, may master his mind - he may genuinely know something - but may be incapable of putting it into action. Or his emotions may be developed, but his intellect may remain at a primitive state. To compound these difficulties, each of these first three ways requires withdrawal from the world, from day-to-day life.

Curry (1977, p. 5) uses the term pseudoparadox to describe an apparent paradox for which, however, there is no underlying actual contradiction. Bertrand Russell classified known logical paradoxes into seven categories. Ball and Coxeter (1987) give several examples of geometrical paradoxes.

    Extractions: MATHWORLD - IN PRINT Order book from Amazon Foundations of Mathematics Logic Paradoxes Epimenides Paradox A version of the liar's paradox , attributed to the philosopher Epimenides in the sixth century BC . "All Cretans are liars...One of their own poets has said so." This is not a true paradox since the poet may have knowledge that at least one Cretan is, in fact, honest, and so be lying when he says that all Cretans are liars. There therefore need be no self-contradiction in what could simply be a false statement by a person who is himself a liar. A sharper version of the paradox (which has no such loophole) is the Eubulides paradox , "This statement is false."

    Extractions: We know how frustrating it can be as we have experienced it ourselves. You have spent hours, days, maybe even months working on a document, and one day it will not open anymore. It has somehow become corrupt, and probably not by your doing. The best way to prevent this from happening is to keep your files backed up. But what do you do if a backup doesn't exist, or if the backup is also corrupt? Fortunately, many files can be recovered, but the cost of recovery is often high. Therefore, we have created a service aimed at making life easier for the majority of people. We have chosen the most popular forms of documentation used today, and created a flat rate service for fixing the most common problems encounted. We are here to help. For more information please

    http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/GR/olbers.html
    
    Extractions: Original by Scott I. Chase. Why isn't the night sky as uniformly bright as the surface of the Sun? If the Universe has infinitely many stars, then it should be. After all, if you move the Sun twice as far away from us, we will intercept one quarter as many photons, but the Sun will subtend one quarter of the angular area. So the areal intensity remains constant. With infinitely many stars, every angular element of the sky should have a star, and the entire heavens should be as bright as the sun. We should have the impression that we live in the center of a hollow black body whose temperature is about 6000 degrees Celsius. This is Olbers' paradox. It can be traced as far back as Kepler in 1610, and was rediscussed by Halley and Cheseaux in the eighteen century; but it was not popularized as a paradox until Olbers took up the issue in the nineteenth century. There are many possible explanations which have been considered. Here are a few: There's too much dust to see the distant stars.

    Extractions: - Othello, Act 1, Scene 1 Paradoxes are as old as humankind. The ancient Greeks studied them intensely which eventually helped lead to the discovery of irrational numbers, and paradoxes are mentioned in the Bible: "It was one of their own prophets who said 'Cretans were never anything but liars, dangerous animals, all greed and laziness;' and that is a true statement." (Titus 1:12-13) Even today, we are surrounded by paradoxes such as Blackwood's "the more terrible the prospect of thermonuclear war becomes the less likely it is to happen," or the Moebius Strip - a topological paradox. For this article, we define a paradox as a statement or sentiment that is seemingly contradictory or opposed to common sense and yet is perhaps true in fact. Another way of thinking of a paradox is a statement that is actually self-contradictory and hence false even though its true character is not immediately apparent. One of the oldest paradoxes is the one cited by the Apostle Paul in his letter to Titus (see above.) The Liar Paradox is interesting because it cannot be true because it would make the speaker a liar and therefore what he says is false. Neither can it be true because that would imply that Cretans are truth-tellers, and consequently what the speaker says would be true. (For classic
