Zen may pursue the embrace of paradox as a spiritual exercise. Chesterton may advocate it as an attainment of reason. Some would say that it is an illusion. The idea that chaos may be a manifestation of levels of order beyond our perception might dovetail with this latter view. Quantum physics attests to laboratory proofs of some of the most mindbending paradoxes imaginable. I think what we call paradox is in some ways an attempt to articulate our knowledge of what we do not understand.
