Introduction and Motivation
In Yasuo Deguchi, Jay L. Garfield, Graham Priest & Robert H. Sharf, What Can't Be Said: Paradox and Contradiction in East Asian Thought. New York, NY, United States of America: Oxford University Press. pp. 1-12 (2021)
Abstract
This chapter briefly introduces dialetheism—the view that some contradictions may be true. It explains why much of Western philosophy has been hostile to contradiction, and it motivates the idea that East Asian philosophy may be more accommodating of contradiction. It also sets out the program of the book.Author Profiles
