idea of democratic critique

“If you think that acts of contradicting someone always need to point to better solutions, you haven’t really understood the idea of democratic critique.”

Martin Nonhoff
coherence in thought

“The imperative of non-contradiction generally produces a coherence in thought that is often at odds with social complexities.”

Yan Suarsana
driver

“Contradictions are an important driver of scientific practice and knowledge.”

Norman Sieroka
articulate

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

Martin Nonhoff
