The History of Paradoxes and Logics
Aiden Hyun

Abstract
This paper delves into the realm of paradoxes, which encompasses scenarios where confounding conclusions emerge from apparently valid premises or logical reasoning. Paradoxes are classified into two distinct categories: "pseudo-paradoxes," arising due to flawed premises or reasoning that result in contradiction, and "genuine paradoxes," wherein opposing conclusions materialize even though both premises and logic are sound. Paradoxes go beyond mere puzzles; they trigger deep philosophical and logical inquiries that call for careful consideration and resolution. Throughout history, paradoxes have existed within our cognitive framework, unveiling substantial issues that were previously disregarded, thus leading to moments of crisis. Renowned philosophers underscore the significance of paradoxes. Prominent contemporary analytical philosopher Quine, for instance, highlights how uncovering paradoxes has been pivotal in reshaping the foundations of our thought processes.
