This essay argues that a solution to Goodman’s Paradox turns upon identifying the relevant asymmetry between predicates like ‘grue’ and those like ‘green’, which (drawing upon Fact, Fiction and Forecast (1954)) is best undertaken by way of an entrenchment criterion. It first explains the paradox and elaborates on the main points of interest, then discusses several attempts to solve it, and their failings. Finally, it examines Goodman’s concept of entrenchment, and some of the issues it has to deal with if it is to be used to finally solve the paradox.
