Preface paradox

Similar to the lottery paradox, it presents an argument according to which it can be rational to accept mutually incompatible beliefs.

(1) Such an author has written a book that contains many assertions, and has factually checked each one carefully, submitted it to reviewers for comment, etc.

In classical deductive logic, a set of statements is inconsistent if it contains a contradiction.

Probabilistic perspective may restate the statements in other terms, thus resolving the paradox by making them non-contradictory.

Finally, paraconsistent logics aims to accept some contradictory statements without exploding.
