Contradiction Set Free
Hermann Levin Goldschmidt
Translated by John Koster, Independent Scholar,
USA
First published in 1976, Goldschmidt’s
Contradiction Set Free (Freiheit für den
Widerspruch) reflects the push to explore new
forms of critical thinking that gained momentum
in the late 20th century. The book articulates the initiative to reclaim
an epistemologically critical position that recognized the deep
underlying link between the modes of production of knowledge and
the social and political life they produce. In signaling a breakout from
the academic rut and its repressive hold, their interventions advanced
critical alternatives for moving beyond the predicament of an
ossified institutionalized way of doing philosophy whose traumatizing
consequences could no longer be ignored.
