"For contradiction in Hegel...is mainly a dyamic concept, a princicple of the unfolding of reality: an egg is 'contradictory' with itself insofar as it already contains the not-egg or negation-of-egg (the Hegelian or dialectical chicken) it will become when hatched, thus demonstrating an underlying reality that is identifiable with neither egg nor chicken but with the process of which each is a separate manifestation." (W.C. Dowling, Jameson, Althusser, Marx: An Introduction to The Political Unconscious, p. 116.)
As you can see, I cannot make this stuff up.
I think the band "Dialectical Chickens" would play bluegrass, don't you? There has to be a washboard in there somewhere, anyway. Their first single could be "Let Me Be Your Antithesis."
