Summary/Abstract: The thesis argued in this article is that logical realism generates paradoxes. Logical realism must be distinguished from other forms of realism such as ontological, linguistic or epistemic realism. Logical realism admits that the individual variables in a formula can be interpreted both by individual and predicative constants. In this way, logical realism disregards syntactic differences between the two types of constants. If, during the interpretation of variables, we take into account the syntactic constraints, and the logical realism is rejected, then, paradoxes such as Impredicable, or other types of paradoxes, are removed.
