Thesis and anti-thesis do not constitute a good model for conflict which is always a matter of incompatibility of will or of habitus. There is no single formal pattern for resolution of conflicting wills and so no logic that can describe what succeeds (in) such a conflict, if anything does. Furthermore, everything actual is so as a form of will whose target is another form of will. If war is the mother of all things, as Heraclitus reportedly said, then the problem is how to insert intelligence into this playing-forth without betraying the strife-ridden nature of things.
