Abstract

Paradoxes are often regarded as relatively rare events in scientific and cultural developments. Yet this perception may itself be somewhat paradoxical, since many of the most significant developments in science and culture have been originally motivated, in some cases, even triggered by paradoxes. Many paradoxes show common features beyond their fundamental contradictory aspects. In addition to the recognition of these main characteristics, the possibilities for the advantageous, highly beneficial use of these additional features may provide novel ideas and new efficient approaches in the advancement of future studies, especially in the interdisciplinary areas.
