“Is contradiction a eurocentric concept, operational phenomenon, and instrument of power?”
Kerstin Knopf
“The history of Western philosophy can be understood as a sustained engagement with contradiction.”
Norman Sieroka
“Contradiction comes in many different forms. None is so debilitating than when the coloniser transitions, textually not politically, to decoloniality without taking the responsibility for the afterlife of colonialism, which they continue to benefit from. Self-examination and self-interrogation of the relations of coloniality, a necessity, seem nearly impossible for the coloniser who continues to act as beneficiary, masked in the new-found language of White fragility, devoid of an ethical responsibility of the very system of White domination they claim to be against.” (Black Consciousness and the Politics of the Flesh)
Rozena Maart
“Contradiction becomes real where someone names contradiction.”
Ingo H. Warnke
“The imperative of non-contradiction generally produces a coherence in thought that is often at odds with social complexities.”
Yan Suarsana
