“Contradiction becomes real where someone names contradiction.”
Ingo H. Warnke
“The city is a laboratory not only of modernity, but also of contradiction.”
Julia Lossau
“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
“Contradiction is not primarily a problem to be solved but a motor we cannot do without.”
Martin Nonhoff
“The history of Western philosophy can be understood as a sustained engagement with contradiction.”
Norman Sieroka
