Senses:
gloss: That contradicts something, such as an argument.
pos: adj
examples: This wide variety of genuinely contradictory holy sutras generated a serious problem in later Chinese and Japanese Buddhism. In the early period the Chinese and Japanese did not know that there were so many schools of Buddhism which disagreed with one another. Chinese and Japanese Buddhists assumed that every single Buddhist sutra was the actual words of the Buddha himself. As a result, Chinese Buddhists had to come up with some kind of explanation for the contradictory claims and assertions apparently made by the same holy person. The Chinese T’ien-t’ai school decided that the texts were spoken by the Buddha but tailored to different audiences of vastly different capabilities and insight.
gloss: That is itself a contradiction.

gloss: Either of a pair of propositions, that cannot both be true or both be false.
pos: noun
examples: If one proposition is the negation of another, it follows trivially from the definition that the two propositions are contradictories. The converse does not hold. Two propositions can be contradictories without either being the negation of the other. For example:
 3) John is more than six feet tall
and
 4) John is either exactly six feet tall or else less than six feet tall
 are contradictories, but neither is the negation of the other. Negation is one way, but not the only way, of forming a contradictory.
