If one were to take a "pro-life" position (which the majority of people in many locales do), and do everything to prevent a woman from aborting a fetus, but, at the same time, be "pro-death penalty" (when it is well known that many individuals on death row were wrongly convicted), then this would be termed a "value contradiction".
The politician's speech was a contradiction of everything he said the day before.
A contradiction is a fact or statement that questions or disproves an existing one. It is a logical conflict or incongruity, or one that cannot be reconciled with another. (A "contradiction in terms" is something that seems to contain self-contradictory elements, as in an oxymoron.) Example : "The crime scene analysis was a direct contradiction of the suspect's version of the events."
A contradiction occurs when two statements or ideas conflict with each other, leading to a logical inconsistency. This means that both statements cannot be true at the same time. In formal logic, a contradiction can invalidate an argument or theory.
Self-contradiction in logic occurs when a statement contradicts itself or leads to a logical inconsistency. One example is the statement "This statement is false." If the statement is true, then it must be false, but if it is false, then it must be true, creating a paradox. Another example is the statement "I always lie," which leads to a similar contradiction.
There is no contradiction.
One way to create a contradiction in a sentence is to use two phrases or ideas that oppose each other. For example, "The ice cream was delicious, but it tasted terrible." This sentence sets up a contradiction by using contradictory descriptions for the ice cream's taste.
In Formal Logic proofs, the contradiction is represented with an inverted T (or upside-down T) as follows: ┴ The contradiction symbol can be introduced at any time a logical contradiction is encounterd, for example, all of the the following contradictory logical statements (using different symbols) can be replaced with the contradiction symbol: The ball is completely blue and the ball not completely blue. P ^ ¬P P & ~P P & !P P AND NOT P
In general a contradiction cannot be proved.
An oxymoron is a contradiction that contains irony.
