 The present section takes a look at how to solve—or rather, circumvent—the paradoxes. To solve or circumvent a paradox one has to weaken some of the assumptions leading to the contradiction. It is very difficult to choose which assumptions to weaken, since each of the explicitly stated assumptions underlying a paradox appears to be “obviously true”—otherwise it would not qualify as a paradox. Below we will take a look at the most influential approaches to solving the paradoxes.
