WHAT DOES TRIVIALISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Trivialism

Trivialism is the logical theory that all statements are true and that all contradictions of the form "p and not p" are true. In accordance to this, a trivialist is a person who believes everything is true. In classical logic, trivialism is in direct violation of Aristotle's law of noncontradiction. In philosophy, trivialism may be considered the complete opposite of skepticism. Paraconsistent logics may use "the law of non-triviality" to abstain from trivialism in logical practices that involve true contradictions. The vast majority of philosophers deny trivialism and can be considered non-trivialists or anti-trivialists. Public advocates of the theory are nearly non-existent due to it being considered an absurdity. It is generally agreed that trivialism as a committed philosophy cannot be genuinely applied in life. Theoretical arguments and anecdotes have been made for trivialism for research purposes to contrast with theories such as modal realism, dialetheism and paraconsistent logics. Religions and theories, such as Jainism, may be claimed to be advocates of trivialism.
