One concept named after this philosopher was analyzed by Jaakko Hintikka, who used doxastic logic to argue that contradiction is at the heart of that concept's absurdity. That concept describes sets of phrases which are true and logically consistent but remain absurd and usually takes the form of "P but I believe Not-P." Another paradox identified by this man claims that conceptual analysis cannot be both correct and informative was first introduced in an essay that attempts to refute the "trivial proposition of esse is percipi". This author's most famous work uses the analogy of explaining yellow to a blind man and argues that queries about its central topic are always "open questions". Tha
