First, The Contrary between things in such a way that the cognitive faculty confronts it, prompting a person to re-plan his thoughts. Second, Incommensurate between two things that do not have any common rational criteria. Third, where the most accurate application of intelligence leads to a dead end, which is named as a Mystery. Each of the meanings of contradiction can somehow play a constructive role in the growth and excellence of man and act as the logic of thinking and the gate to reach the truth.
