%A Dr Paul Franceschi %T Elements of dialectical contextualism %X In what follows, I strive to present the elements of a philosophical doctrine, which can be defined as dialectical contextualism. I proceed first to define the elements of this doctrine: dualities and polar contraries, the principle of dialectical indifference and the one-sidedness bias. I emphasize then the special importance of this doctrine in one specific field of meta-philosophy: the methodology for solving philosophical paradoxes. Finally, I describe several applications of this methodology on the following paradoxes: Hempel's paradox, the surprise examination paradox and the Doomsday Argument. %D 2014 %K dialectical contextualism, contextualism, dialectics, one-sidedness bias, cognitive distortion, meta-philosophy, polar contraries, paradox %L cogprints9225
