- Taoism
Taoist texts, especially the Tao Te Ching by Laozi, are filled with paradoxes and contradictions meant to convey the ineffable nature of the Tao (the Way). Statements like "The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao" challenge conventional understanding and encourage a more intuitive grasp of reality.
Zhuangzi's writings also include stories and dialogues that are rich in paradox, meant to shake the reader out of ordinary thinking and into a deeper awareness.
