5. Theory of Logic / L. Paradox / 6. Paradoxes in Language / c. Grelling's paradox

10631	If 'x is heterological' iff it does not apply to itself, then 'heterological' is heterological if it isn't heterological [Hale/Wright]
	Full Idea: If we stipulate that 'x is heterological' iff it does not apply to itself, we speedily arrive at the contradiction that 'heterological' is itself heterological just in case it is not.
	From: B Hale / C Wright (Intro to 'The Reason's Proper Study' [2001], 3.2)
