The Paradoxist Movement, Precursor of Neutrosophy, in the Shadow of a Totalitarian Regime

Abstract

Physics thrives on precision, but paradoxes in set theory reveal limitations in our understanding of well-defined boundaries. Neutrosophic logic, challenging the excluded middle principle, introduces the concept of "betweenness" and partial belonging. This article explores, among other things, what is less known, i.e., Paradoxism emerged as a radical artistic and literary movement in Romania during the late 1980s and continues even today. It arose within the stifling and highly controlled environment of Nicolae Ceaușescu's socialist regime, offering a rebellious outlet and a means to subvert the prevailing ideology. Understanding the Paradoxist Movement necessitates a contextual understanding of the Nicolae Ceaușescu regime, a period marked by strict control and growing dissent. Later on, paradoxism, as the dynamics of opposites used in literary and scientific creations, was extended to neutrosophy, which means the dynamics of opposites and their neutrals in literary and scientific creations, which was further generalized to Plithogeny.
