Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is one essentially expositive. Two different points of view regarding some limits of thought, having their starting point the paradoxical constructions are presented: the one (I) represented by the limitative theorems, as a consistent solution to some paradoxes, the other (II) represented by dialetheism, according to which the limits can be transcended by dropping the principle of noncontradiction.
