“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
“The imperative of non-contradiction generally produces a coherence in thought that is often at odds with social complexities.”
Yan Suarsana
“The history of Western philosophy can be understood as a sustained engagement with contradiction.”
Norman Sieroka
“Is contradiction a eurocentric concept, operational phenomenon, and instrument of power?”
