Graham Priest is the high priest of this philosophical movement, believing that there are true contradictions.
I must be something of an untrained, informal, non-technical, logician. I must have been something of a diatheist before I knew what the term meant.
Under my philosophy of moderation I state that true contradictions exist and are true. I also believe there are false contradictions and that both exist and do not exist. There are also other statements, variations upon these extreme, antithetical statements that exist and fail to exist.
A moderate states that reality and truth are complicated and mixed. Snap judgments, sweeping generalizations and sharp categories are often not very useful.
Perhaps verbal, conceptualizing and cognitive victory is coming close to capturing how the world works in clear language and ideational approximations that come as near as we can at this time to describe the world as it is.
