Apparent Paradoxes Are Paradoxes and the Problem of Change Is an Apparent Paradox

open access: yesPacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we argue that, under certain conditions, if something is, apparently, a paradox, then it is a paradox. We then apply this claim to a recent discussion on the so‐called “Problem of Change.” Throughout the history of Philosophy, many authors have viewed change as a paradoxical phenomenon. More recently, some have defended that the

A Theory of Sense‐Data

open access: yesAnalytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
