We study the relation between logical contradictions such as p *** ¬p and structural contradictions such as p *** (p .q ). Intuitively, we expect the two to be treated similarly, but they are not by PSL, nor by SVA. We provide a solution that treats both kinds of contradictions in a consistent manner.

Writers in the Marxist tradition frequently make use of the term ‘contradiction of capitalism’. It is sometimes used, in a very loose sense, to describe virtually any malfunction or indeed objectionable feature of the capitalist system. But in Marx’s theory of historical materialism the notion of contradiction played a more fundamental role. One of the

The purpose of this essay is to shed some light on a certain type of sentence, which I call a borderline contradiction. A borderline contradiction is a sentence of the form Fa ∧¬Fa, for some vague predicate F and some borderline case a of F, or a sentence equivalent to such a sentence. For example, if Jackie is a borderline case of ‘rich’, then ‘Jackie

I argue that there is nothing about truth as such that prevents contradictions from being true. I argue this by considering the main standard accounts of truth, and showing that they are quite compatible with the existence of true contradictions. Indeed, in many cases, they are actually friendly to the idea.

Contradiction and confirmation
1993In most expert systems, efforts are made to keep the rules in the knowledge base free from contradictions., because a logical system that generates even a single contradiction may collapse. We argue that not only can contradictions be tolerated, but in fact they are useful.

The Real Contradictions (Commodities as Coherence of Contradiction)
2020In his attempt to not subsume the whole dynamic of internal contradiction, characteristic of all social life, in a system commanded merely by thought, Marx moves away from the common significances of ‘contradiction’, common to previous ontologies. The author will try to demonstrate that Marx widened the realm of the real, especially when confronted ...
