metadata.value: This paper investigates the fundamental nature of conflict within an existential-phenomenological
  approach. Despite extensive research having been carried out on the phenomenon
  of conflict, little attention has been paid to its correlation with the ontological paradox. In
  this context, the present paper attempts to locate a uniform ground for an understanding of
  the entity of conflict by means of rethinking the specific position of man within Being. This
  becomes possible through the unfolding of a complex existential-phenomenological methodology
  consisting of a description of participants experiencing the paradoxical nature of
  conflict. Conflict is sure to consist of an encounter between opposites, incompatibilities or
  contradicting parties. However, where do these opposites originate and where are these
  contradicting parties located? The search for answers reveals that ignoring (avoidance) an
  understanding of the situation, as well as a rush to an immediate resolution of the conflict,
  appears to be unproductive. One of the possible solutions might be found within the ontological
  paradox in terms of phenomenological attentive consideration and existential effort
  for accepting the insolvability of a conflict. Nevertheless, this way reveals a paradoxical path
  for productively dealing with the nature of human conflict, allowing a thorough understanding
  in the categories of finitude, entirety, “inner war,” self-state and effort of acceptance.
  This complex approach may be further applied within both philosophical and sociopolitical
  research areas based on the represented categories. For example, investigations of
  such phenomena as crisis, habit, change, innovation, etc., are of great interest in terms of
  harmonisation of self-state and effort for acceptance.
