In an array of problem solving methods, one can traditionally distinguish two kinds of problems: one is a problem that has solutions in a search space and the other is a problem that does not have solutions in a given space. The later problem so called solutionless problem or inventive problem requires an inventive approach to reformulate the problem and dialectical thinking brings benefits in the process. The framework used to formulate problems in a dialectical approach is contradiction. Identification of contradictions plays an important role in distinguishing solutionless problems: a contradiction exists when no solution can be found, and a solution exists when no contradiction can be found. In this article, the inadequacy of existing frameworks in satisfying this requirement is demonstrated and a framework that fits this requirement is proposed.
