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

“Creating decentralizing and decolonizing scholarship on contradiction, contradictory phenomena, and contradicting processes is a challenging task.”

Kerstin Knopf

“Living in contradictions is what we experience every day. Why do we know so little about it?”

Gisela Febel
