Mao further develops the theme laid out in On Contradiction in his 1957 speech On the Correct Handling of Contradictions Among the People. Mao describes existence as being made up of constant transformation and contradiction. Nothing is constant as in metaphysics and can only exist based on opposing contradictions. He uses the concept of ...
Contradictions between the people and the enemy were antagonistic contradictions. [3]: 169 The slogan serve the people appears in On the Correct Handling of Contradictions Among the People, where Mao writes that "state organs must rely on the people, and the staff of state organs must serve the people."

[2]: 38 At the time it was written, the Chinese Communist Party had just endured the Long March and their nationalist foes were still at large. Plus, China was facing a tremendous Japanese threat.

By the time of his 1908 Mathematical logic as based on the theory of types [6] Russell had studied "the contradictions" (among them the Epimenides paradox, the Burali-Forti paradox, and Richard's paradox) and concluded that "In all the contradictions there is a common characteristic, which we may describe as self-reference or reflexiveness". [7]
For example, given a formula such as ~S 1 V S 2 and an assignment of K 1 to S 1 and K 2 to S 2 one can evaluate the formula and place its outcome in one or the other of the classes. The assignment of K 1 to S 1 places ~S 1 in K 2, and now we can see that our assignment causes the formula to fall into class K 2. Thus by definition our formula is ...
The classic proof that the square root of 2 is irrational is a refutation by contradiction. [11] Indeed, we set out to prove the negation ¬ ∃ a, b ∈ . a/b = √ 2 by assuming that there exist natural numbers a and b whose ratio is the square root of two, and derive a contradiction.
In a revised version of On the Correct Handling of Contradictions Among the People, an essay aimed to revive the Hundred Flowers campaign published on June 19 1957, Mao Zedong clarified the distinction between "beautiful flowers" and "poisonous weeds"; [18] Whether they would help to unite the people of various nationalities.
