“If social contradictions are reflected in law, law cannot form a hierarchy of norms free of contradictions.”
Andreas Fischer-Lescano

“Is contradiction a eurocentric concept, operational phenomenon, and instrument of power?”
Kerstin Knopf

articulate

“Contradictions need to be articulated in order to exist.”
Martin Nonhoff

coherence in thought
