"Resolving Contradictions" is an album by British musician Andy Mackay, released on Bronze Records in 1978.

Andy Mackay was once Roxy Music's saxophonist, and some members of the group happen to play on this record. This opus is a "concept album" with references to the chinese culture. The cover (designed by Jane Mackay) figures a sort of post Cultural Revolution scene. And the sound of most of the numbers relates to what a western world audience could "know" about chinese music.
