我们往往用 “矛盾” 来描述两个看似互相对立、不应但确实同时存在的现实情况。逻辑学中，亦有 “悖论” 一词，那你知道什么是 “悖论思维” 吗？
The chicken or the egg – which came first? It's probably one of the most commonly cited paradoxes2 – a chicken hatches from an egg, so the egg came first, right? But then what laid the egg? The two ideas seem contradictory3, and that's exactly what a paradox1 is – a problem that seemingly has no definitive4 solution and can't be logically solved.
And paradoxes don't just exist in philosophical5 debates but also in our daily lives. How can work be flexible but maintain structure? How can we switch off if we're working from home? Two contrasting ideas could cause people stress, but what if we accept the contradiction and change the way we look at it? This is what some experts call the 'paradox mindset'.
