{ 5 } - a positive paradox.
Some knowledge may not be possible for some people, or at some time, etc., but to claim that knowledge is never possible is to make a knowledge claim and thus to involve oneself in a self-contradiction.

Because the statement involves a self-contradiction, it cannot possibly true. Self-contradictions are always false.

{ 5 } - a positive paradox.
"Truth is different for everyone" is an expression of relativism, and is a negative paradox, because if the statement is true, it is also false at the same time in the same respect.

{ 3 } - relativism.
{ 4 } - the principle of non-contradiction.
{ 5 } - a positive paradox.
The statement is a violation of the principle of non-contradiction because it is asserting and denying something at the same time and in the same respect. It is an example of a violation of the principle rather than an expression of it.

Positive paradoxes appear to be self-contradictory and are actually true. The above statement appears to be true and is actually self-contradictory.
