5. Theory of Logic / L. Paradox / 6. Paradoxes in Language / d. The Preface paradox

13237	Preface Paradox affirms and denies the conjunction of propositions in the book [Beall/Restall]
	Full Idea: The Paradox of the Preface is an apology, that you are committed to each proposition in the book, but admit that collectively they probably contain a mistake. There is a contradiction, of affirming and denying the conjunction of propositions.
	From: JC Beall / G Restall (Logical Pluralism [2006], 2.4)
	A reaction: This seems similar to the Lottery Paradox - its inverse perhaps. Affirm all and then deny one, or deny all and then affirm one?
