I don’t know if that is a good example.
I could say that “everything is relative”, but that’s an absolute statement so it’s contradictory. However, whole philosophies—coherent ones—have been built on this premise. Or at least I am aware of one.
You basically have to bootstrap it with a segmentation of “truth” into “absolute” and “relative”. But as you develop it you need the “absolute” part less and less, like scaffolding for a finished building.
