Question

In the paper Models and Reality, Hilary Putnam discusses one of these statements named for Skolem. While explaining one of these statements, (10[1])Carl Gustav Hempel imagined melting ice with a colorless flame and argued for applying Nicod’s criterion. The study of these statements led Ramsey to develop the Theory of Simple Types. Investigating these statements caused Graham Priest (-5[1])to develop the first-order (10[1])logic LP with three values. An appendix was hastily made for the Grundgesetze (“GROOND-guh-ZETTS-uh”) when one of these statements was derived from Frege’s Basic Law V, undermining logicism. One of these statements named for liars can be (10[1])resolved (10[1])with the position of (10[1])dialetheism (“die-uh-LEE-thee-ism”), while another attributed to Zeno involves an arrow flying in space. For 10 points, name these statements in the study of logic that appear to contradict themselves. ■END■
