Our intuitions regarding a philosophical paradox tell us that the conclusion of the paradox is false. But our intuitions also tell us that the conclusion of a philosophical paradox follows logically from premises that are true. Solving a philosophical paradox requires accepting any one of three things: that its conclusion is true, that at least one of its premises is not true, or that its conclusion does not really follow logically from its premises.
Solving a philosophical paradox requires accepting something that goes against our intuitions. We must (1) accept that the conclusion is true when our intuitions tell us its false; (2) accept that one of the premises is not true when our intuitions tell us that the premises are true; or (3) accept that the conclusion doesn't follow from its premises when our intuitions tell us that the conclusion does follow from its premises.
