In Contradiction advocates and defends the view that _ there are true contradictions (dialetheism), a view that _ flies in the face of orthodoxy in Western philosophy since_ Aristotle. The book has been at the centre of the _ controversies surrounding dialetheism ever since its first_ publication in 1987. This second edition of the book _ substantially expands upon the original in various ways, and also contains the author's reflections on developments over the last two decades. Further aspects of dialetheism are _ discussed in the companion volume, Doubt Truth to be a _ Liar, also published by Oxford University Press in 2006.
after reading the careful arguments that Priest builds to defend dialetheism, and the passionate attack he launches on classical logic and consistent views of the world, one realizes that dialetheism is a major logical theory, deserving a detailed examination. . . . I strongly recommend its reading to anyone interested in logic and language. * José Martínez Fernández, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
