space
“According to Niklas Luhmann, space is a ‘special facility to negate contradictions’”.
Julia Lossau
every day
“Living in contradictions is what we experience every day. Why do we know so little about it?”
Gisela Febel
prison of difference
“‘Contradiction is the prison of difference‘ writes the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. Worlds of Contradiction asks: how can we explain and describe the world without making it more coherent and systematic than it is?”
Michi Knecht
sustained engagement
“The history of Western philosophy can be understood as a sustained engagement with contradiction.”
Norman Sieroka
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
