Russell’s Other Contradiction: the Paradox of Propositions
Appendix B of The Principles of Mathematics (1903) contains Russell’s first statement of his theory of logical types. This simple version of the theory is designed to block the reasoning that leads to the paradox of the Russell class. But Russell notes immediately that new problems arise. The problems culminate in the paradox of propositions. This is a problem that seems to run in exact paralle...
متن کاملA Contradiction Is Not a Paradox!
This paper will analyze the main errors at the heart of the special theory of relativity. But the main theme is that fundamentally the theory is inherently a contradiction of sound method, principles of scientific thought, and mathematical logic. The main success of the theory is in turning a theory of contradictions into a theory of paradoxes through the unproved assertion that although the th...
متن کاملThe Two-Child Paradox: Dichotomy and Ambiguity
Given that one of the children in a two-child family is a boy, what are the chances that the other is also a boy. The intuitive answer is 50 : 50. More careful investigation leads us to a 1-in-3 chance. We investigate circumstances under which these answers are correct. The imposition of further conditions yields some very surprising results. To my sons Owen and Andrew, both born on Tuesday, on...
متن کاملA Paradox for the “smooth Ambiguity” Model of Preference
Two Ellsberg-style thought experiments are described that reect on the smooth ambiguity decision model developed by Klibano¤, Marinacci and Mukerji (2005). The rst experiment poses di¢ culties for the models axiomatic foundations and, as a result, also for its interpretation, particularly for the claim that the model achieves a separation between ambiguity and the attitude towards ambiguity....
متن کاملAmbiguity aversion in a delay analogue of the Ellsberg Paradox
Decision makers are often ambiguity averse, preferring options with subjectively known probabilities to options with unknown probabilities. The Ellsberg paradox is the best-known example of this phenomenon. Ambiguity has generally been studied in the domain of risky choice, and many theories of ambiguity aversion deal with ambiguity only in this context. However, ambiguity aversion may occur in...
