Square circles or round squares have haunted many and diverse philosophical writers as the archetype of the impossible and the absurd; they were assigned a place near --- or rather below --- golden mountains, unicorns and mermaids. They have been discussed by Thomists, existentialists and linguistic philosophers as well as by Herbart, Bergson, Russell and many, many others.
