Paradoxes are arguments that lead from apparently true premises, via apparently uncontroversial reasoning, to a false or even contradictory conclusion. Paradoxes threaten our basic understanding of central concepts such as space, time, motion, infinity, truth, knowledge, and belief.

Although this requires a little bit of knowledge of theories of arithmetic (particularly Gödel encodings and the diagonalization lemma), each paradox is presented concisely and intriguingly. Highly recommended to anyone who wants an introduction to paradoxes.
