Question

In the traditional square of opposition, these things occur when diagonally related statements are both accepted. , Under Jay Garfield’s interpretation, the Catuṣkoṭi (“CHA-toosh-koh-tee”) of Nāgārjuna allows these things to be correct, (10[1])which partially motivates Graham Priest’s (10[1])dialetheism. Paraconsistent logics reject the idea that any statement can be derived from these things, an idea known as the principle of explosion. (10[1])The three laws of thought are the law of identity, the law of the excluded middle, and a law concerning these things. Attesting the presence of one of these statements is the goal of a reductio ad absurdum. (-5[1])For 10 (-5[1])points, name these logical statements that simultaneously assert both a proposition and its negation. ■END■ (10[3])

ANSWER: contradictions [or contradictories; accept false statements or other descriptions of statements that are not true; accept law of non-contradiction or principle of non-contradiction; prompt on paradoxes]
