What is the contradiction in philosophy?

Philosophical contradiction refers to the contradictory and unified relationship contained in the thing itself. In short, contradiction is the unity of opposites.

Contradiction is the driving force for the development of all things, that is to say, both sides of contradiction are opposite and unified, which promotes the movement, change and development of things. Contradictions here include internal contradictions and external contradictions of things. Internal contradictions are called internal causes; External contradictions are called external causes. The development of things is the result of both internal and external factors.

1, internal cause is the foundation of things. The change and development of things are mainly caused by the internal contradictions of things. The two contradictory aspects of things are interdependent and mutually exclusive, which changes the power and status of the two contradictory aspects and promotes the movement, change and development of things.

2. External factors are the conditions for things to change and develop. Since nothing is isolated, it always interacts with things around it, and things can only develop under certain external conditions.

3. In short, the internal contradiction of things is the fundamental reason for the development of things; The external contradiction of things is the second reason for the development of things. The development of things is the result of both internal and external factors. So contradiction is the driving force for the development of everything.
