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