| Course Objectives: | This course aims at expanding students’ capacity to think rigorously about paradoxes and introducing students to a number of core topics in metaphysics, philosophy of logic, probability, and philosophy of language. |
| Course Content: | A selective course which introduces students from all departments to the world of paradoxes, the way they work, the ways to refute them, and reveals the theoretical illusion that grants them their strength. It is a weekly 3-hour course. |
