Reply to comment by itsastickup in "For evoking impossible entities, paradox has too easily been dismissed as philosophically suspect. Yet, far from entailing error, paradox suggests a “certaine valeur de vérité,” a particular type of truth inherent to language." by Maxwellsdemon17

I think that a "paradox" is how we describe the impossibility of two contradictory, albeit unassailably true (whether in reality or arguendo), facts. Oftentimes, a paradox describes an inconsistency between logical and experiential truth. Those are my favorite kinds because it pits sensory experience against logic.
