  Paradox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paradoxes that arise from apparently intelligible uses of language are often of interest to logicians and philosophers.
In fact, Zeno's paradoxes of multiplicity and motion, which revealed problems in the Greek idea of space and time, were resolvable only using mathematics discovered in the 19th century.
Paradoxes which are not based on a hidden error generally happen at the fringes of context or language, and require extending the context or language to lose their paradox quality.

 Horse paradox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As the basis case, we note that in a set containing a single horse, all horses are clearly the same colour.
By the principle of induction, we have established that all horses are the same colour.
Thus this is not a paradox, but merely the result of flawed reasoning; it exposes the pitfalls arising from failure to consider special cases for which a general statement may be false.

I have the same recognition of paradox and emergence of something third coming from nowhere in my work with people and horses when I can trust enough to let go and be taken on the horse human journey.
That a prey animal like a horse that has 60 million years of conditioning to protect themselves from animals like humans can be met with on every level, and I mean every level, physically, emotionally, spiritually and even a third place like telepathy.

The paradox underscores some differences in the significance and implications of terms when considered in the context of mention rather than use.
Moreover, the paradox shows that insights into how words and phrases operate in language can be gained by considering them in the context of mention.
The paradox also causes us to think of the instrumental value of words, as opposed to thinking of their roles just in referring and in judgments and inferences.

Paradox moves are rooted in motions you are doing with your feet and legs; the upper body or torso twisting is really incidental to a dexterous motion of the feet.
For example, a paradox mirage is paradox because of the motion necessary for the dexterity.
The "paradox" whirl, on the other hand, does satisfy the "paradox" motion in the dex and should be considered paradox despite the fact that the bag is caught on the same side of the body that the dex occurs (the catch being unimportant due to satisying the paradox component in the dex).

 Notes to Mohist Canons
But if the ‘is’ is that of identity, then it is correct that the kind white horse is not identical to the kind horse, since not all horses are white.
Canon B66 is important evidence that the Mohists employ no concept with a role similar to that of the Western concept of ‘essence’, for if they did it would be natural to explain the distinction between oxen and horses by appeal to their different essences.
For convenience of illustration, the examples that follow are modified from those in the “Small Selection.” The statements about brown horses and about Jack and Jill are not found in the text, though they are modeled on statements found there.
