Franklin Merrell-Wolff discusses the nature of paradox. He offers a number of examples of paradoxical statements such as the modern physicist’s description of light as both a particle and a wave and the mathematician’s handling of Zeno’s Achilles and the Tortoise race. He then elaborates upon the Buddhist doctrine of anatman within the context of the logic of our universe of discourse and maintains that the Buddha has not given us a critique of reality, but a critique of cognition.
