| Paradoxes: are contradictions within formally correct statements or sets of statements that lead to an existence assumption, which initially seemed plausible, to be withdrawn. Paradoxes are not errors, but challenges that may lead to a re-formulation of the prerequisites and assumptions, or to a change in the language, the subject domain, and the logical system. See also Russellian paradox, contradictions, range, consistency._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Alfred Tarski on Paradoxes - Dictionary of Arguments
Horwich I 114 Liar/Paradox/Tarski: this paradox arises when we assume that the language contains the names of the expressions, and semantic terms such as "true" - then the language is "semantically closed". >Semantic closeness. Horwich I 115 Such languages can be eliminated even in the sciences, in which semantic terms are essential.(1) 1. A. Tarski, The semantic Conceptions of Truth, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 4, pp. 341-75 - - - Berka I 452 Berka I 452 Liar/paradox/Tarski scheme/Tarski: error: to use for the symbol "p" a term which itself contains the term "true statement". - Then it is no longer a partial the definition. Problem: no reason can be specified as to why such substitutions are prohibited in principle.(1) >Tarski scheme, cf. >Quasi-quotation. 1.
