At least once in a philosopher’s lifetime does one encounter a philosophical paradox that often defies unfounded presumptions about the philosopher’s universe. Coming upon such an unnerving proof may cause the philosopher to either deny other presumptions less devoted to, try to accept the impossible, or to fall into total skepticism. But, I am speaking of a fourth action which seems to defy the implied assumption in a meaning of a “philosophical paradox”: to admit the premises yet find logical grounds to deny the conclusion.
