I do not notice the word “paradox” in Wigner’s essay, but central theme of the essay has paradox written all over it. To see, try substituting the word “unreasonable” with the word “random”, and then the word “effectiveness” with the word “nonrandom,” and voila we shall have a new paradox: random-nonrandom. I am going to discuss Wigner’s paradox within the framework of the thesis that Nature is “Analogical.”
