PARACONSISTENT NEWSLETTER - SUMMER 2007

Contradiction is a bad sign of truth; several things which are certain are contradicted; several things which are false pass without contradiction. Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the want of contradiction a sign of truth.

Guess who said that and win free vacations to the island of inconsistencies !

Decision between winners will be made on the basis of further information: title of the book and page number.

The winner, if any, will be announced in the next newsletter.

The quotation of the last newsletter was:

The whole has no being. Or: the concept of the universe is inconsistent

Nobody found that this was Alain Badiou
