Paradigms and self-reference
Original language description
Paradox according to Wittgenstein is something surprising that is taken out of its context. Thus one way of coping with paradoxical sentences is to imagine the missing context of use. Wittgenstein formulates what I call the paradigm paradox: “one sentence can never describe the paradigm in another, unless it ceases to be a paradigm.” (PG: 346) There are several instances of this paradox spread throughout Wittgenstein’s writings. I argue that this paradox is structurally equivalent to Russell’s paradox. The above quotation is Wittgenstein’s version of the vicious circle principle which counteracts the paradox. This ban is, however, restricted to a certain language-game. Finally, I argue that there is a structural analogy between the employing of a noun as a self-membered set and a paradigmatic sample being included in or excluded from the set it generates. Paradoxical sentences are not banned forever, they can indicate the change of the method of dealing with paradigms.
