Course Objective and Content

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.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Analyze paradoxes and draw their structure.
2) Categorize paradoxes according to the philosophical foundation behind them
3) Discuss the philosophical implications of paradoxes.
