“If social contradictions are reflected in law, law cannot form a hierarchy of norms free of contradictions.”
Andreas Fischer-Lescano
“Contradiction is not primarily a problem to be solved but a motor we cannot do without.”
Martin Nonhoff
“The basis of law is not an idea as a systematic unified principle but a paradox.”
Andreas Fischer-Lescano
“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
“According to Niklas Luhmann, space is a ‘special facility to negate contradictions’”.
