[Bups-dis] On the nature of philosophical problems

Hello All,

Sorry I haven't been around much.

Philosophical problems often take the form of paradoxes or puzzles,
containing in its most basic form, a claim P which we accept and some
other claim Q which we accept. Yet it is shown that Q lies in
contradiction to P. This gives us a puzzle.

Must all philosophical puzzles take the form of such paradox?

Looking forward to hearing your views,
Lishan
