important response of course Wojtek. Note that I am not challenging
at present law of non contradiction or law of excluded middle.
^^^^ CB: The fundamental principle of formal logic is non-contradiction. The fundamental principle of dialectical logic is contradiction.
Dialectical contradiction is often termed the unity and struggle of opposites.
^^^^
Philosophy may well begin in Zeno's paradoxes. See Mazur The Paradox of Motion. I don't think Collier's def of immanent contradiction implies challenge to above laws. Perhaps you could tell us how you describe the two situations I have described as expressions of immanent contradictions. Won't be able to respond till much later. Yours, Rakesh
^^^ CB: See _Anti-Duhring_ too , on motion as contradiction.
