Description: Dialeth(e)ism is the view that there are true contradictions. By Graham Priest of the University of Queensland.
Dialetheism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) First published Fri Dec 4, 1998; substantive revision Thu Mar 28, 2013 , such that both it and its negation, ¬ , are true (we shall talk of sentences throughout this entry; but one could run the definition in terms of propositions, statements, or whatever one takes as one's favourite truth-bearer: this would make little difference in the context). Assuming the fairly uncontroversial view that falsity just is the truth of negation, it can equally be claimed that a dialetheia is a sentence which is both true and false.
