How do you reconcile contradictions in that way, if you do ? What does this say about the nature of negation? Is negation absolute or relative - id est, is it more of a descriptive or defining quality? If it is descriptive, does that mean falsehood is a subset of truth and that truth is an ubiquitous qualia?
Here are some examples of true contradictions that dialetheists accept [sic](Wikipedia -  ):
The only certain knowledge we have outside of our immediate experience is that there is no certain knowledge outside of our immediate experience.
"All statements are true" is a false statement.
"There are no absolutes" is an absolute.
