5. Theory of Logic / E. Structures of Logic / 2. Logical Connectives / c. not

21777	Negation of negation doubles back into a self-relationship [Hegel, by Houlgate]
	Full Idea: For Hegel, the 'negation of negation' is negation that, as it were, doubles back on itself and 'relates itself to itself'.
	From: report of Georg W.F.Hegel (works [1812]) by Stephen Houlgate - An Introduction to Hegel 6 'Space'
	A reaction: [ref VNP 1823 p.108] Glad we've cleared that one up.

5. Theory of Logic / L. Paradox / 4. Paradoxes in Logic / e. The Lottery paradox

4261	The Lottery Paradox says each ticket is likely to lose, so there probably won't be a winner [Bonjour, by PG]
	Full Idea: The Lottery Paradox says that for 100 tickets and one winner, each ticket has a .99 likelihood of defeat, so they are all likely to lose, so there is unlikely to be a winner.
	From: report of Laurence Bonjour (Externalist Theories of Empirical Knowledge [1980], §5) by PG - Db (ideas)
	A reaction: The problem seems to be viewing each ticket in isolation. If I buy two tickets, I increase my chances of winning.
