space

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

city

“The city is a laboratory not only of modernity, but also of contradiction.”
Julia Lossau

relational

“At first I thought contradiction was always a relational thing; but the more I ponder it, the more I think contradiction creates relation.”
Ingo H. Warnke

interstice

“The contradiction of law in Derrida lies in the interstice that separates the impossibility of deconstructing justice from the possibility of deconstructing law.”
Andreas Fischer-Lescano

coherence in thought

“The imperative of non-contradiction generally produces a coherence in thought that is often at odds with social complexities.”
Yan Suarsana
