Avicenna on the Law of Non-contradiction

 "Anyone who denies the law of non-contradiction should be beaten and burned until he admits that to be beaten is not the same as not to be beaten, and to be burned is not the same as not to be burned."

~~~ Avicenna, medieval philosopher


For the record, I enthusiastically accept the Law of Non-contradiction. Absolutely. Without question. No denial here.
