QUÉ SIGNIFICA PARADOX EN INGLÉS

Paradoja

Paradox

Una paradoja es una afirmación que aparentemente se contradice y que, sin embargo, puede ser verdadera. La mayoría de las paradojas lógicas son conocidas como argumentos inválidos, pero siguen siendo valiosas para promover el pensamiento crítico. Algunas paradojas han revelado errores en definiciones asumidas como rigurosas, y han hecho que los axiomas de la matemática y la lógica sean reexaminados. Un ejemplo es la paradoja de Russell, que cuestiona si una "lista de todas las listas que no se contienen" se incluirá a sí misma, y ​​mostró que los intentos de fundar la teoría de conjuntos en la identificación de conjuntos con propiedades o predicados eran defectuosos. Otros, como la paradoja de Curry, aún no están resueltos. Ejemplos fuera de la lógica incluyen el barco de Teseo de la filosofía. Las paradojas también pueden tomar la forma de imágenes u otros medios. Por ejemplo, M.C. Escher presentaba paradojas basadas en la perspectiva en muchos de sus dibujos, con paredes que se consideran pisos desde otros puntos de vista, y escaleras que parecen trepar sin fin. En el uso común, la palabra "paradoja" a menudo se refiere a las declaraciones que son irónicas o inesperadas, como "la paradoja de que estar de pie es más agotador que caminar".

A paradox is a statement that apparently contradicts itself and yet might be true. Most logical paradoxes are known to be invalid arguments but are still valuable in promoting critical thinking. Some paradoxes have revealed errors in definitions assumed to be rigorous, and have caused axioms of mathematics and logic to be re-examined. One example is Russell's paradox, which questions whether a "list of all lists that do not contain themselves" 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 Curry's paradox, are not yet resolved. Examples outside logic include the Ship of Theseus from philosophy. Paradoxes can also take the form of images or other media. For example, M.C. Escher featured perspective-based paradoxes in many of his drawings, with walls that are regarded as floors from other points of view, and staircases that appear to climb endlessly. In common usage, the word "paradox" often refers to statements that are ironic or unexpected, such as "the paradox that standing is more tiring than walking".
