A Relation of Identity
Question
I read post no. 81, “Does a person ‘live within himself’?” and I didn’t understand what is problematic about speaking about myself. I understand that the concept of a set creates paradoxes when it refers to itself, but why do I and myself also create paradoxes?
And one more thing: what is the actual Jewish law regarding someone who surrounds himself? Does that also create paradoxes?
Answer
I moved this there (to the comments after post 81).
