The Paradox of Philosophical Dilemma
The primary paradox is found in the topic 'The Present Dilemma in philosophy', in which the author talks about pragmatism based on philosophical thinking. Paradoxically, the author fails to provide a framework that convinces readers to comprehend his thinking and conclusion. For instance, the reader expects the author to base his arguments on a specific school of philosophical thought.
The satire of spiritual; substance
The satire in ‘What Pragmatism Means’ is the hypothetical parlance between material substance and spiritual substance. Spirituality and philosophical assumption are parallel, but the author is trying to intertwine them into one. The reader does not expect similar outcomes from theosophical assumption and religious point of view.
The irony of truth
The assumption that ‘false’ is anything that fails to be subject to the equation of assimilation and validation is flawed. The pragmatism of religion cannot be equated to the philosophical comprehension of truth. Therefore, truth is subject to whatever is right but not necessarily validation and verification.
