What is a good example of a paradox?

The Liar's Paradox being the most classic example, but certainly IMO not being a true paradox.


Not sure what you have in mind by calling it a 'true paradox'. If you mean 'truly a paradox' then there are plenty and yes they have both to do with our language and logic.

Their are two mistakes in this sentence.
