By exposing and critiquing the hegemony of otherness and difference in 20th century philosophy, Gregory S. Moss liberates philosophy from the fetishization of incompleteness that dominates much of the history of the analytic and continental traditions.

Inspired by German Idealism and the Kyoto School, Moss defends the view that the Absolute exists and can only be known as a true contradiction. Corresponding to its dialetheic theory of existence, he also offers a new theory of truth according to which only contradictions can be true. By thinking through the rational and mystical varieties of Absolute Dialetheism, the book argues for philosophical religion, a vision of the Absolute that unifies both philosophy and religion into a dialetheic conception of absolute knowledge.
