ideal of a contradiction-free world

“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

articulate

“Contradictions need to be articulated in order to exist.”
Martin Nonhoff

coherence in thought

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

name contradiction

“Contradiction becomes real where someone names contradiction.”
Ingo H. Warnke
