Summary/Abstract: In order to get a clear understanding of the dilemma, we began with a logical approach into the issue. We then moved into the realm of morality with several clarifications regarding the (in)solubility of moral dilemmas, focusing on a solution from deontic logic, which ultimately proved to be self-contradictory. Finally, we presented the optimistic view of the Romanian philosopher Constantin Noica regarding the possibility of viewing both sides of the dilemma with equal confidence – a view that turned out to be valid upon a formal-logical examination.
