program
The "contradiction" sees itself as a forum for an open, socially critical discourse. He would like to give suggestions for changing social, economic and political conditions. Each issue is dedicated to a key topic, which is dealt with in (previously unpublished) articles, interviews, surveys and reviews of relevant books. The magazine contains an extensive review section on new publications. For many years, the Munich Philosophy section gave lecturers and students the opportunity to introduce themselves and to report on their work and experiences at Munich University.
In October 2015, the "contradiction" organized a conference on the topic of "What is left today?" In cooperation with the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation , the cultural department of the City of Munich and Radio LORA .
