A '''paradox''' is a true statement or group of statements that appears as a contradiction or a situation which defies [[intuition]]; or, inversely, it can be a contradiction that actually expresses a non-dual [[truth]] (cf. [[Koan]]). Typically, either the statements in question do not really imply the contradiction, the puzzling result is not really a contradiction, or the premises themselves are not all really true or cannot all be true together. The word ''paradox'' is often used interchangeably with ''contradiction''.  Often, mistakenly, it is used to describe situations that are [[irony|ironic]].
