From

Sorensen delivers a lightly written yet persistently head-scratching review of paradoxes in the Western tradition. In an apt simile, the author, a college professor, likens paradoxes in philosophy to prime numbers in mathematics; they build up the larger edifice. Paradoxes, however, are potentially weak materials for pondering the existence of God, the validity of common sense, the reliability of reason, or which door to choose on Let's Make a Deal. Although the contradictions that paradoxes pose may bemuse general readers, for philosophers, they are serious business indeed. Yet both audiences will be served by Sorensen's account. Everybody knows that Zeno's Paradox (which asserts motion is impossible) can't be true, yet, Sorensen reports, no philosopher could refute it until the late nineteenth century. The Zeno case epitomizes the author's approach: he centralizes a paradox as originated by, or associated with, two dozen historical philosophers, and calls the play-by-play of successors who wrestled it to the mat.

Review

"Because paradoxes show great minds at once at their most inspired and befuddled, a book like this makes an excellent introduction to philosophy in general. By treating how different thinkers deal with a problem, Mr. Sorensen provides a sort of whistle-stop tour of Western thought."--New York Sun

"High-interest material for recreational philosophers."--Booklist

"One of the most enjoyable books I read this past year, though I don't share Sorenson's conception of philosophy. To fully appreciate the book--and to adequately assess it--you would need to be a philosopher, which I am not. But for general readers with a strong interest in philosophy, it's an unbeatable bedside book, witty and stimulating if taken in small doses."--John Wilson, Christianity Today
