Paradoxes aren't curiosities here — they're the pressure points where logic, metaphysics, epistemology, and decision theory crack open, and the course uses them as a way to do serious philosophy rather than collect puzzles. You'll work through canonical readings (Zeno, McTaggart, Lewis on time travel, the Liar, Sleeping Beauty, Cantor) and write weekly reports that reconstruct arguments and defend a position, which is most of the grade. As a graduate-level seminar it assumes you're comfortable with formal reasoning and want practice arguing precisely about the cases that break our intuitions about truth, time, infinity, and rational belief.
