Category has collection of famous paradoxes, witty paradoxical quotations, paradox examples on logic paradoxes, math paradoxes, science paradoxes, perception related paradoxes etc.

A paradox can be defined as a seemingly true statement or group of statements that lead to a contradiction or a situation which seems to defy logic or intuition.

The term paradox is also used for an apparent contradiction that actually expresses a non-dual truth such as two true sentences which put together seem incompatible as both being true.

Common themes in paradoxes include self-reference, the infinite regress, circular definitions, and confusion between different levels of abstraction.
