Contradiction Studies

Putting contradiction center stage, this series aims at challenging simplistic conceptualizations of the contradictive. The series editors agree that contradictions are not necessarily about being resolved but that they rather provide starting points for polyphonic conversations.

Brühne, Julia, Yan Suarsana & Ingo H. Warnke

paradox

“The basis of law is not an idea as a systematic unified principle but a paradox.”
Andreas Fischer-Lescano

problem to be solved

“Contradiction is not primarily a problem to be solved but a motor we cannot do without.”
Martin Nonhoff

hierarchy of norms

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

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

driver

“Contradictions are an important driver of scientific practice and knowledge.”
Norman Sieroka
