Kritik
From the reviews:
"Piotr Lukowski's Paradoxes is an abridged, revised and translated version of a book written in Polish ... . As a source of paradoxes and arguments related to them, the book is highly valuable. ... Lukowski often develops his analyses carefully. In his book he not only gathers the paradoxes ... but also presents a rather unified and interesting view on them. It is definitely a good read." (Rafal Urbaniak, Studia Logica, Vol. 101, 2013)mehr
