Paradox

Explanation:

The paradox, also known as oxymoron, is a figure of speech that “fuses” opposing concepts, such as cruel and kind, into the same statement. It can be described as the expression of a logical idea through the use of opposing terms. In a paradoxical statement, mutually exclusive notions are related and / or focus on the same framework.

In the field of philosophy, the term paradox was consecrated by the philosophers of Stoicism, who used it to designate notions that at first glance seemed contradictory but, in the end, were quite coherent. The paradox is well known, but is often confused with the antithesis. To end this confusion, it is crucial to keep in mind that in the paradox the terms of opposite meanings are used in relation to the same frame of reference, while in the antithesis the words or expressions of opposite meanings are related to different frames of reference.
