Contradictio in adjecto#

Summary#

A Latin term meaning “contradiction in terms,” used by Nietzsche to expose the self-contradictory nature of foundational philosophical concepts. He applies this label to notions such as “immediate certainty,” “absolute knowledge,” and “thing in itself,” arguing that these phrases contain internal contradictions that undermine their validity as grounds for knowledge.
