A paradox, also known as an antinomy, is a logically self-contradictory statement or a statement that runs contrary to one expectation. It is a statement that, despite apparently valid reasoning from true premises, leads to a seemingly self-contradictory or a logically unacceptable conclusion. A paradox usually involves contradictory-yet-interrelated elements―that exist simultaneously and persist over time.
In logic, many paradoxes exist which are known to be invalid arguments, but which are nevertheless valuable in promoting critical thinking, while other paradoxes have revealed errors in definitions which were assumed to be rigorous, and have caused axioms of mathematics and logic to be re-examined. One example is Russells paradox, which questions whether a "list of all lists that do not contain . would include itself, and showed that attempts to found set theory on the identification of sets with properties or predicates were flawed. Others, such as Currys paradox, cannot be easily resolved by making foundational changes in a logical system.
