Paradoxes (Interpretations) (Interpretations)

"Paradoxes are many things. Artificial intelligence views them as viruses of the brain, strange replicators that unexpectedly exploit design possibilities. For the child, they are intellectual cartwheels, an everyday delight. For mathematicians and logicians, they reveal skeletons in the closet of reason. For philosophers and dramatists, they capture the contradictions of experience. The historian of ideas sees that they come in successive waves, surging through Classical Greece, the Renaissance and the twentieth century. Professor Leiber's user-'friendly guide to paradoxes provides an up-to-date survey of an ancient and perennial source of puzzlement. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.

המשפט הראשון: Paradoxically, perhaps the most available and economical, and reliable, path to immortality is this: invent a paradox.
