Abstract: Paraconsistent logic is a non-classical logic which can embrace a “contradiction”. Such a contradiction is called as a “true contradiction”. According to paraconsistent logic, a logical paradox is a “true contradiction”, which can be accepted by its system. As a solution to a paradox, paraconsistent logic cuts off disadvantageous effects of a paradox on the system. The paradoxical solution in the sense of isolation is important in reality and has a value of philosophy of logic.

Key words: paraconsistent logic, paradox, true contradiction, law of contradiction
