Explain the distinction between a performative and a logical contradiction.

Pick One prompt and write a 1250 word paper on it. I will upload the necessary material for the prompt once a bid has been accepted.

(1) Explain the distinction between a performative and a logical contradiction. Explain Moore’s paradox in its omissive and commissive form. Which solution to Moore’s paradox do you find most convincing? Explain the solution. Explain why the solution of your choice is superior compared to competing solutions. Are they any problems with the solution of your choice and, if there are, how can they be dealt with? (Note: You don’t have to discuss the knowledge version of Moore’s paradox.)

(2) Explain fallibilism and the principle of closure under known implications. Explain how these two ideas lead to the lottery puzzle (not the lottery paradox). Explain the lottery puzzle. Which solution to the lottery puzzle do you find most convincing? Explain the solution. Explain why the solution of your choice is superior compared to competing solutions. Are they any problems with the solution of your choice and, if there are, how can they be dealt with?
