Contradictions constitute one fundamental aspect of human life. Humans are steeped in
contradictory thoughts, feelings, and attitudes. In this debate, five anthropologists adopt
an individual-centered and phenomenological perspective on contradictions. How can one
live with them? How to describe them from an anthropological point of view? Should we
rethink our dear notion of the “social agent” through that of contradiction?
