The definition from our book is--------
"a statement that on the surface seems that it cannot possibly be true, but that turns out to be
true after all"
and the example from the book--------
"One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die."
This actually clears nothing up for me...SO here is a nice little website that helps clear things up.
If things are still a little hazy, then try watching this youtube video
The video captures the philosophical aspect of paradox. Usually, though the parts don't add up in and of themselves, when added up, they make sense and speak of a truth we might not have known via the parts.
