Illustrating a general tendency in applied logic, Aristotle’s law of noncontradiction states that “One cannot say of something that it is and that it is not in the same respect and at the same time.â€
By extension, outside of formal logic, one can speak of contradictions between actions when one presumes that their motives contradict each other.
Contradiction in formal logic
In formal logic, particularly in propositional and first-order logic, a proposition ψ (because ![](), one may prove any proposition from a set of axioms which contains contradictions.</span></p>

Contradictions and philosophy
Adherents of the epistemological theory of coherentism typically claim that as a necessary condition of the justification of a belief, that belief must form a part of a logically non-contradictory (consistent) system of beliefs. Some dialetheists, including Graham Priest, have argued that coherence may not require consistency.
Meta-contradiction
It often occurs in philosophy that the presence of the argument contradicts the claims of the argument; for example: Heraclitus’s proposition that knowledge is impossible; or, arguably, Nietzsche’s statement that one should not obey others.
Contradiction outside formal logic
In colloquial speech
Colloquial usage can label actions or statements (or both) as contradicting each other when due (or perceived as due) to presuppositions which are contradictory in the logical sense.
