“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.

Michi Knecht
“According to Niklas Luhmann, space is a ‘special facility to negate contradictions’”.
Julia Lossau
“Living in contradictions is what we experience every day. Why do we know so little about it?”
Gisela Febel
“If social contradictions are reflected in law, law cannot form a hierarchy of norms free of contradictions.”
Andreas Fischer-Lescano
“The basis of law is not an idea as a systematic unified principle but a paradox.”
Andreas Fischer-Lescano
