every day

“Living in contradictions is what we experience every day. Why do we know so little about it?”
Gisela Febel

hierarchy of norms

“If social contradictions are reflected in law, law cannot form a hierarchy of norms free of contradictions.”
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

l’illusion d’une unité

“Foucault speaks of contradiction as l’illusion d’une unité.”
Ingo H. Warnke

limits

“Resistance is a democratic right, sometimes a duty. With literature we can find models for this right and think about its limits.”
Gisela Febel
