Baraldi I 131 ff
Paradox/Luhmann: paradoxes arise when conditions of its possibility are at the same time also conditions of its impossibility. - Eg.g paradox of Epimenides: This sentence is false.
The condition of the falsehood is also the condition of the truth.
The paradox does not have therefore the form A = Not A, that would be a contradictory, but not a paradoxical statement.
Paradoxes arise when the observer (each observation is a distinction) asks the question of the unity of the distinction.
>Observation/operation/Luhmann.
Any distinction is paradoxical, because both sides are always simultaneously present. - Paradox: the system observes that its environment is nothing more than an internal product of its operations.
Paradoxes/Luhmann are a problem for the observer, not necessary for the operations of the observing system. - Asymmetrisization can reverse paradoxes.
Baraldi I 132
Paradox/Luhmann/GLU: logical form: not "A = not A" but "because A non-A".
The conditions of possibility are at the same time the conditions of its impossibility.
A paradox arises when the observer raises the question of the unity of the distinction.
Every distinction is paradoxical, because both sides are always simultaneously present. - They are a problem for the observer - not for the operations of the system.
>Distinction, >System/Luhmann, cf. >Circle.
