Abstract

In Contradiction advocates and defends the view that there are true contradictions (dialetheism), a view that flies in the face of orthodoxy in Western philosophy since Aristotle. The book has been at the centre of the controversies surrounding dialetheism ever since its first publication in 1987. This second edition of the book substantially expands upon the original in various ways, and also contains the author's reflections on developments overthe last two decades. Further aspects of dialetheism are discussed in the companion volume, Doubt Truth to be a Liar, also published by Oxford Univer

Abstract

Logical paradoxes - like the Liar, Russell's, and the Sorites - are notorious. But in Paradoxes and Inconsistent Mathematics, it is argued that they are only the noisiest of many. Contradictions arise in the everyday, from the smallest points to the widest boundaries. In this book, Zach Weber uses "dialetheic paraconsistency" - a formal framework where some contradictions can be true without absurdity - as the basis for developing this idea rigorously, from mathematical foundations up. In doing so, Weber directly addresses a longstanding open question: how much standard mathematics can paraconsistency capture? The guiding focus is on a more basic question, of why there are paradoxes. Details underscore a simple philosophical claim: that paradoxes are found in the ordinary, and that is what makes them so extraordinary.

Abstract

This volume focusses on contradiction as a key concept in the Humanities and Social Sciences. By bringing together theoretical and empirical contributions from a broad disciplinary spectrum, the volume advances research in contradiction and on contradictory phenomena, laying the foundations for a new interdisciplinary field of research: Contradiction Studies. Dealing with linguistic phenomena, urban geographies, business economy, literary writing practices, theory of the social sciences, and language education, the contributions show that contradiction, rather than being a logical exemption in the Aristotelian sense, provides a valuable approach to many fields of socially, culturally, and historically relevant fields of research. Contents Contradiction in Narrative and Discursive Orders.- Contradiction in Interpersonal Communication and Institutions.- Contradiction, Power, and Governmentality.- Contradiction in Territorial Orders and Infrastructures Target Groups Researchers and students in the Humanities and Social Sciences The Editors Julia Lossau is professor of Human Geography at the University of Bremen, Germany. Daniel Schmidt-Brücken is a postdoctoral researcher in German Linguistics at the University of Bremen, Germany. Ingo H. Warnke is professor of German and Interdisciplinary Linguistics at the University of Bremen, Germany. .

Abstract

"Everything is contradictory," Hegel declares in Science of Logic. In this analysis of one of the most difficult and neglected topics in Hegelian studies, Songsuk Susan Hahn tackles the status of contradiction in Hegel's thought. Properly philosophical thinking in the Hegelian mode recognizes that contradiction pervades all organic forms of life. Contradiction in Motion presents Hegel's doctrine of contradiction, once widely dismissed, as one deserving serious consideration. The book argues that contradiction is not a sign of error or incoherence, but rather plays an important role in the development of Hegel's system.The first part of the book sets up Hegel's logic of organic wholes in such a way as to motivate his claim that everything is contradictory. Hahn explores how Hegel tests his abstract logical and methodological apparatus against the more concrete, unmanageable aspects of empirical nature. The second and third parts of the book examine the extent to which Hegel's organic model informs his aesthetics and ethics. Hahn reveals the privileged role of art forms in expressing our consciousness of organic unity and shows how Hegel's organic-holistic conception of cognition and nature, with its distinctively contradictory stance, can be incorporated coherently into his ethics.

Abstract

Depuis Aristote et les débuts de la logique, la non-contradiction est un des trois axiomes de la logique dite classique, peut-être même le plus important, à côté de celui d'identité et de tiers-exclu. Les travaux que mène Graham Priest depuis le début des années 1970 ont pourtant démontré les limites de cette approche et mis en valeur le fait que certaines contradictions sont réelles. Patiemment il a ainsi élaboré une logique du paradoxe à laquelle le présent livre entend introduire, en réunissant (et en traduisant pour la première fois au lectorat francophone) quelques articles phares de l'auteur qui compte sûrement parmi les plus grands penseurs des cinquante dernières années.

Abstract

"Si, comme l'affirmait Aristote, la contradiction est difficilement recevable en logique classique, car "si une chose est, il n'est pas possible qu'elle ne soit pas tout à la fois", l'analyse de corpus oraux en revanche démontre que les structures langagières imposant une contradiction sont familières dans le discours spontané. Loin de ne servir que des fins stylistiques ou rhétoriques, la contradiction s'actualise bel et bien en discours et l'aporie logique qu'elle manifeste à première vue met au contraire en scène une énonciation singulière qui (ré-)organise le discours de manière dynamique. Cet ouvrage met au jour les différentes formes que peut prendre la contradiction discursive et en propose une typologie des effets pragmatiques."--Page 4 of cover.
