sustained engagement

“The history of Western philosophy can be understood as a sustained engagement with contradiction.”
Norman Sieroka

paradox

“The basis of law is not an idea as a systematic unified principle but a paradox.”
Andreas Fischer-Lescano

power and resistance

“Michel Foucault says: “Where there is power, there is resistance, and […] this resistance is never in a position of exteriority in relation to power” (History of Sexuality I, The Will to Knowledge, 1976, p. 95)”
Gisela Febel

city

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

space

“According to Niklas Luhmann, space is a ‘special facility to negate contradictions’”.
Julia Lossau
