  Antinomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antinomy (Greek αντι-, against, plus νομος, law, literally, the mutual incompatibility, real or apparent, of two laws) is a term used in logic and epistemology, which, loosely, means a paradox or unresolvable contradiction.
This is because the conclusion that there is a limitation is (supposedly) derived from the antinomy by logical reasoning; therefore any limitation in the validity of logical reasoning imposes a limitation on the conclusion that there is a limitation on logical reasoning.
In mathematical logic, antinomies are patently not self-isolating, and are usually seen as disasters for the formal system in which they arise (as Russell's paradox in Frege's work).

 ANTINOMY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
ANTINOMY (Greek ’αντι- [anti]—opposed; νομος [nomos]—law, principle)—a contradiction in reasoning which occurs when we start from premises the truth of which is not in doubt and using rules of reasoning recognized as correct we arrive at contradictions.
Other known antinomies are: the antinomy of the universal set (the antinomy of the largest cardinal number), the antinomy of the set of all sets (Cantor’s antinomy), and the antinomy of the set of all ordinal numbers (the Burali-Fortie antinomy of 1897).
This antinomy differed from other logical antinomies because it is not based on any statements of the set calculus apart from the mentioned definition, and thereby it has its source in the very foundations of set theory.

 Russell-Myhill Paradox [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
The Russell-Myhill Antinomy, also known as the Principles of Mathematics Appendix B Paradox, is a contradiction that arises in the logical treatment of classes and "propositions", where "propositions" are understood as mind-independent and language-independent logical objects.
Thus, Frege himself concluded that the antinomy was due to unclarities in the symbolism Russell used to formulate the paradox.
Antinomies such as the Russell-Myhill antinomy must be a concern for anyone with a robust ontology of intensional entities.

 Antinomy
‘Antinomy’ means ‘contradiction between laws.’ The laws of different modal aspects may not contradict one another, but this is what happens when we absolutize certain aspects or when we try to reduce one aspect to another.
Antinomy is distinguished from contrariety within a modal sphere, as in logical contradiction (NC II, 37).
An example of an antinomy is the identification of cosmic diversity with logical diversity (NC I, 19).

However, the concept of antinomy deserves critical examination because it impinges upon one of the requirements of truth, namely, compliance with the law of contradiction.
The concept of antinomy is not wanted because it is at variance with the epistemology of evangelical theologians and apologists.
The word "antinomy" is used euphemistically to refer to a contradiction, and a contradiction, by whatever name it is called, is still unacceptable.

ABBA THE THEOLOGICAL ANTINOMY 2 On the one hand the attributes are mutually exclusive and, on the other hand, logic is applicable, because we have assumed the Antinomy to be rigorously founded in UH.
Under this assumption the Antinomy asserts that an omniscient and omnipotent human being is impossible.
ABBA THE THEOLOGICAL ANTINOMY 3 Consequently, it is legitimate to claim the existence of omniscient and omnipotent God, as long as this claim is not founded in UH, but postulates, on the contrary, some transcendental UT comprising an adequate theological referential RT.

Because of the possible occurrence of antinomies, the problem of specifying the formal structure and the vocabulary of a language in which definitions of semantic concepts are to be given becomes especially acute; and we turn now to this problem.
We must discover its cause, that is to say, we must analyze premises upon which the antinomy is based; we must then reject at least one of these premises, and we must investigate the consequences which this has for the whole domain of our research.

 notes on Quine: "The Ways of Paradox - and other essays"
Explains the distinction between veridical (ones whose conclusion is true) and falsidical (ones whose conclusion is false) paradoxes (which can be explained away) and antinomies (which cannot be explained away, represent genuine demonstrable contradictions, and demand some change to the language or logic in which they are derived).
In the main the paradoxes or antinomies discussed, which include Zeno's (falsidical), Grelling's (falsidical), Berry's (antinomy), the liar (antinomy), Russell's (antinomy) and Cantor's (antinomy), are shown by Quine either to be veridical or falsidical paradoxes, or they are shown to be genuine antinomies, either in natural language or in some technical language (or both).

 Badlands Journal - Antinomy
One of the oddest sets of antinomies is between the fundamentalist, hard-right American Christian fundamentalists and the terrorists of al Qaeda.
These American fundamentalists are called by their leaders, the cynical imperialists, “the base.” By chance, al Qaeda also means “the base.” The radical wing of our fundamentalists seem to believe that Armageddon is approaching but in the final conflagration the faithful will float nakedly to Heaven to be with Jesus.
As the antinomies gather force, time itself seems to hurtle forward to the doom of tragic protagonists in later acts.

This paper has two main goals: First a conceptual clarification and distinction of different notions of "big bang" and "universe" is suggested, as well as a multiverse taxonomy and a classification of initial and eternal cosmologies.
Second, and with the help of this analysis, it is shown how a conceptual and perhaps physical solution of the temporal aspect of Immanuel Kant's "first antinomy of pure reason" is possible, i.e.
