Vecusum's spot on concerning one of them at least
Those who declair the Raven Paradox as more or less solved give the diagnosis that people think about one step of the problem too hard. Anyone care to take a stab at which step's flawed?
Zeno's paradoxes are different fish...a lot of very clever people have triumphantly declaired them solved, but there's a few unresolved issues that remain.
Most folks contend that the hangman paradox is a problem only because our definition of "suprise" is illogical or vauge, but people don't like clarifying their terms, so this one's gonna haunt us for a while.
Has anyone heard of the elevator paradox?
