Norman Sieroka

“Contradiction is not primarily a problem to be solved but a motor we cannot do without.”

Martin Nonhoff
Is contradiction eurocentric?

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

Kerstin Knopf

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