space

“According to Niklas Luhmann, space is a ‘special facility to negate contradictions’”.

Julia Lossau
earthing

“Geography as a discipline stands for a certain worlding, if not earthing, of contradiction, in both theoretical and pracitcal respect.”

Julia Lossau
problem to be solved

“Contradiction is not primarily a problem to be solved but a motor we cannot do without.”

Martin Nonhoff
sustained engagement

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

Norman Sieroka
paradox

“The basis of law is not an idea as a systematic unified principle but a paradox.”
