At the center of blasphemous life is this idea of the living contradiction. Blasphemous life is the life that is living but that should not be living. This contradiction is not a contradiction in terms of medical science; the blasphemous life can often be scientifically explained and yet remain utterly incomprehensible. If it is a logical contradiction, it would have to be one in which the existence of true contradictions would not only be admitted, but would be foundational to any ontology.
