From the reviews:
“Piotr Łukowski’s Paradoxes is an abridged, revised and translated version of a book written in Polish ... . As a source of paradoxes and arguments related to them, the book is highly valuable. ... Łukowski often develops his analyses carefully. In his book he not only gathers the paradoxes ... but also presents a rather unified and interesting view on them. It is definitely a good read.” (Rafal Urbaniak, Studia Logica, Vol. 101, 2013)Piotr Lukowski is the Head of the Department of Cognitive Science at the Institute of Psychology, University of Lodz. He was visiting scholar in the Imperial College of London (1993), at the University of Warwick in Coventry (1993), Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) (1995-97, Japan), Université de Nantes (1998-1999, France). In 1993-94 and between 1998 and 2007, Piotr Lukowski was the editor of the journal ''Bulletin of the Section of Logic''.
