Paradoxes are many things... Artificial intelligence views them as viruses of the brain, strange replicators that unexpectedly exploit design possibilities. For the child, they are intellectual cartwheels, an everyday delight. For mathematicians and logicians, they reveal skeletons in the closet of reason. For philosophers and dramatists, they capture the contradictions of experience.

About the Interpretations series: The intellectual outlook of an age is defined by the interpretations it can offer, not only of its own thinking, but of the thought of the past.
