A contradiction between two statements, laws, or parts of a statement that cannot both be true at the same time.
From Greek anti- (against) + logos (word, speech, reason), literally 'against speech.' The term was used by ancient philosophers to describe logical paradoxes.
An antilogy is basically what happens when the Constitution says all men are created equal but some were enslaved—Thomas Jefferson himself noted this antilogy but couldn't resolve it, showing how powerful contradictions can hide in plain sight.
