Dialetheism and the Law of Non-contradiction
Sammanfattning: To say that the Law of Non-contradiction (LNC) underpins Western philosophy isperhaps not an exaggeration, but the discovery of paradoxes poses a serious challenge to itsfoundational status. This paper examines and defends one of the most thought-provokingsolutions - dialetheism, which proposes that there are indeed true contradictions. With the help ofa model explaining how change in logic takes place, I discuss how, despite the LNC beingregarded as the hallmark of rational thinking, it is possible to debate the LNC without beingcircular. I also evaluate arguments from both LNC proponents and opponents. Ultimately Iconclude that the dialetheist comes out on top on both establishing a constructive argument anddefending his position.
