A fallacy is a misleading or illusory argument. A sophism is a fallacy designed to decieve. A paradox is a tenet or proposition contrary to recieved opinion, Also, an assertion or sentiment seemingly contradictory. A paradox is opposed to common sense.
It is only related to reality in that it is opposed to it.
It is the sophism that is the most difficult to comrehend. Why would the mind design a fallacy to decieve? Your questions about are they relative, I cannot answer. Maybe someone else can bring you the answer you seek. |
