Target entity: ravens paradox
Context triple: [Carl Hempel, notableIdea, ravens paradox]
  • A. Barber paradox
    The Barber paradox is a self-referential logical puzzle about a barber who shaves all and only those who do not shave themselves, illustrating a contradiction similar to Russell’s paradox.
  • B. Yablo's paradox
    Yablo's paradox is a self-referential logical paradox involving an infinite sequence of sentences, each saying that all later sentences in the sequence are false, which challenges traditional notions of semantic paradox and self-reference.
  • C. Curry paradox
    Curry paradox is a self-referential logical paradox that arises in certain formal systems without using negation, showing how naive reasoning about implication and self-reference can lead to triviality.
  • D. Russell’s paradox
    Russell’s paradox is a foundational logical contradiction in naive set theory that reveals problems with sets that contain themselves, leading to major developments in modern logic and the axiomatization of set theory.
  • E. Berry paradox
    The Berry paradox is a self-referential logical paradox arising from phrases like “the smallest positive integer not definable in under eleven words,” which appears to define exactly such a number while claiming it cannot be defined.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
