Abstract
In this article paradoxon is defined as self contradiction and as self reje ction of meaning. It seems useful to keep a clear difference between sponta neous reaction on paradoxon and of formulating the diagnosis 'pandoxon' in a specific situation. The difference between 'thinking the paradox' and 'co ping with a paradox situation' is explained; ways of adequate coping are de scribed.
