Explanation
Antilogy does not merely juxtapose opposite words or claims. It develops two opposed logoi as reasoned paths. This unsettles the apparent self-evidence of a single perspective, but does not itself decide which side is better supported.
Example
A strongly guided atlas route provides orientation. Against it, guidance predetermines which connections appear important before readers explore for themselves.
Counterexample
A guided route is good; an unguided route is bad. This merely opposes evaluations without developing two lines of argument.
Distinction
Unlike antithesis, which contrasts expressions or ideas, antilogy develops opposed arguments. Dissoi logoi is retained as a historical form and search alias, not as a separate profile.
Effect on thought and perception
Releases a question from a single voice and exposes assumptions, blind spots and competing descriptions.
Resonance
A subject begins to resonate between two voices; the space of thought emerges in their tension.
