every day

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

ideal of a contradiction-free world

“Science has long been animated by the ideal of a contradiction-free world in which logical orders could merge with society, politics, culture and language. In the GRC Contradiction Studies we are working on ways of describing the multiplicity and complexity, the danger and beauty of our worlds that clearly go beyond concepts of freedom from contradiction.”
Michi Knecht

diversity and plurality

“Join us to create more diversity and plurality in knowledge production.”
Gisela Febel

articulate

“Contradictions need to be articulated in order to exist.”
Martin Nonhoff

sustained engagement

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