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

driver

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

space

“According to Niklas Luhmann, space is a ‘special facility to negate contradictions’”.
Julia Lossau

coherence in thought

“The imperative of non-contradiction generally produces a coherence in thought that is often at odds with social complexities.”
Yan Suarsana

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
