    hierarchy of norms

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

    Andreas Fischer-Lescano
    interstice

    “The contradiction of law in Derrida lies in the interstice that separates the impossibility of deconstructing justice from the possibility of deconstructing law.”

    Andreas Fischer-Lescano
    prison of difference

    “‘Contradiction is the prison of difference‘ writes the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. Worlds of Contradiction asks: how can we explain and describe the world without making it more coherent and systematic than it is?”

    Michi Knecht
    city

    “The city is a laboratory not only of modernity, but also of contradiction.”

    Julia Lossau
    coherence in thought

    “The imperative of non-contradiction generally produces a coherence in thought that is often at odds with social complexities.”

    Yan Suarsana
