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
every day
“Living in contradictions is what we experience every day. Why do we know so little about it?”
Gisela Febel
space
“According to Niklas Luhmann, space is a ‘special facility to negate contradictions’”.
Julia Lossau
relational
“At first I thought contradiction was always a relational thing; but the more I ponder it, the more I think contradiction creates relation.”
Ingo H. Warnke
problem to be solved
“Contradiction is not primarily a problem to be solved but a motor we cannot do without.”
Martin Nonhoff
