I think what is meant by "contradiction" for Kierkegaard is a bit unclear at first. What is the meaning of this life -- a subjective, personal question -- cannot be answered in terms of an objective teleology. So, an argument can look like this:

P1: "What is the meaning of this life" is a subjective question.
P2: Subjective questions cannot be answered objectively.
Therefore, it is a contradiction to provide an "objective" answer.

I haven't read Either/Or but this would be my interpretation based on some of Kierkegaard's other shit that I've read.
