bertrand russell's barber paradox

The Barber Paradox is a self-referential paradoxical scenario created by Bertrand Russell. It involves a barber who shaves all and only those men in a village who do not shave themselves. The question arises - does the barber shave himself? This leads to a contradiction, as if he shaves himself, then he must not shave himself, but if he doesn't shave himself, then he must shave himself according to the barber's rule.
