Cognitive polyphasia is where different kinds of knowledge, possessing different rationalities live side by side in the same individual or collective. [1] From Greek: polloi "many", phasis "appearance". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_polyphasia
Cognitive Polyphasia seems to be a method of merging old beliefs with the new. There have not been many studies nor a lot of research on this concept. I find it interesting because of the attempt to integrate disparate concepts.

Cognitive Polyphasia, and Why We Contradict Ourselves - Learning Mind

The contradiction involved perhaps affirm what Descartes and Sophocles had to say:

"If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things." ~Rene Descartes "
The unexamined life is not worth living." ~Socrates, in Plato, Dialogues, Apology
Thanks for this!
