Description

Paradoxes cannot be understood within the bounds of empiricism only. Paradoxes require a higher form of knowing: wisdom (philosophy). The parts of a whole (a whole of a set or a whole self) cannot be understood, given attributes, without parts themselves - this is what creates the paradox of the 11th rule of set theory. No set, no whole, no self - just attributes within its bounds. The universe (and you) is a paradox.
