Antinomy is a term used in logic and epistemology, which, loosely, means a paradox or unresolvable contradiction. At least for me that this season in my life, paradox feels vital to to discovery of the real. If for a moment I think have own truth or I possess a corner reality, then I am one step away from the weaponization of the very truth I sense I am drawing near. By contrast paradox invites a humility toward such claims, while opens us to learn with others. Click here to listen.
Antinomy
(chorus) Antinomy, antinomy, antinomy it's not merely one but it's two QEDs antinomy, antinomy, antinomy contradictory results from the same premises! (Despite what one thinks--both can't be believed!) Immanuel Kant said the world can't begin then thought better of it, and said it can't end; how better adjoin separate theses as these but publicize them as Kant's antinomies? (chorus) Old Zeno thought space a remarkable thing (somewhat as we think of a pig on the wing) Achilles could not catch a Testudines if burdened by so many antinomies (chorus) We search for the truth till the end of the day but closer approaching seems farther away an infinite effort our destiny be the lover of wisdom's own antinomy (chorus)
