Abstract

In ‘The Unsatisfied Paradox’ (The Reasoner 6(12), p.184-5), Peter Eldridge-Smith has argued that no unique solution for the logical paradoxes is likely to exist in the presence of the following two kinds of paradox: 1. The Unsatisfied kind. 2. The Satisfiable kind. We argue that both kinds of paradoxes typically contain some kind of self-reference used for an attempt of self-diagonalization, and that consequently they may solvable in the same way, namely, by the acknowledgement that no intensional object is available to itself for reference or quantification.
