“The basis of law is not an idea as a systematic unified principle but a paradox.”
Andreas Fischer-Lescano
“Foucault speaks of contradiction as l’illusion d’une unité.”
Ingo H. Warnke
“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
“Contradictions are an important driver of scientific practice and knowledge.”
Norman Sieroka
“Living in contradictions is what we experience every day. Why do we know so little about it?”
Gisela Febel
