The Canadian Philosophy Show #631

Part 1 of Paradoxes in Philosophy explores the importance of logical and semantic paradox in the philosophical tradition. In this episode, we discuss the paradoxes of Ancient Greece, beginning with Euthyphro's Dilemma and two of Zeno's famous paradoxes: Achilles and the Tortoise and The Arrow. Metaphysics, ethics, and logic all coincide in this exploration of the odd and contradictory.
