Apparent Paradoxes are Paradoxes and the Problem of Change is an Apparent Paradox

Year: 2025

Type: article

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 Problem of Change is not a paradox. In the paper, we argue that the Problem of Change is an apparent paradox and that the relevant conditions are met. Consequently, we conclude that the Problem of Change is a paradox.
