Abstract

Even though the principle of non-contradiction is one of the most important principles governing philosophy, especially since the time of Aristotle, some people have gone against this principle and challenged it. The present study mainly aims to show the historical course of the dialethism and the solutions provided by
the dialetheists to believe in the possibility of the sum of contradictions from ancient times until now. The present study aims to show the historical course of the dialethism and the solutions presented by the dialetheists to believe in the possibility of the sum of contradictions. The main problem of this research is that what arguments and solutions have the prominent opponents of the principle of refusal of contradiction presented for their point of view, and it has used the descriptive method and critical analysis to reach the answer to this problem. In order to outline the thought process of defense of dialethism, first the background of the principle of non-contradiction is examined. Then, dialethism and its relationship with trivialism will be discussed, and after that, the background dialethism from ancient Greece to modern times will be reported in detail. The explanation of the logic of dialethism will be the end of this work.
