Abstract
In the present article I intend to examine critically the correctness of those arguments known to me which have been used to justify the thesis that any change implies a contradiction, i.e. if a sentence stating the occurrence of a change is true, then so must be some two mutually contradictory sentences. I emphasize that this analysis will be concerned only with arguments of this type known to me. It may be that not all arguments of this type will be considered here and that, therefore, my analysis would to be amplified.
Traslated by Jerzy Giedymin. First published in Myśl Współezesna, (1948), 8/9, 35–52. Translation base on Język i Poznanie, II, 90–106 Reprinted here by kind permission of PWN.
