driver
“Contradictions are an important driver of scientific practice and knowledge.”
Norman Sieroka
sustained engagement
“The history of Western philosophy can be understood as a sustained engagement with contradiction.”
Norman Sieroka
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
articulate
“Contradictions need to be articulated in order to exist.”
Martin Nonhoff
limits
“Resistance is a democratic right, sometimes a duty. With literature we can find models for this right and think about its limits.”
