Single Idea 16347

[filed under theme 5. Theory of Logic / L. Paradox / 1. Paradox ]

Full Idea

Paradoxes that arise from interaction of predicates such as truth, necessity, knowledge, future and past truths have receive little attention. There may be many unknown paradoxes lurking when we develop frameworks with these intensional notions.

Gist of Idea

Many new paradoxes may await us when we study interactions between frameworks
