Long live contradiction!

Long Live Contradiction! The power of uncertainty – how characters and cultures arise Our world is in motion and so we look for something to hold on to. We seek certainty and organise our lives down to the last detail, but uncertainty remains. So we arrange things even better, even more precisely, and this doesn’t work. We find ourselves trapped and become intolerant. We build a cathedral of false certainties, to end up in the shadows grumbling. In Long Live Contradiction! we take a close look at society and all its uncertainties. Four imaginary guides – thinkers, doers, dreamers and feelers – lead us through life’s labyrinth, dealing with intangible issues like identity, time, sensuality, life and death. What is your preferred approach to life? Paul Dijkman writes pleasantly accessible contemplative books and essays, both non-fiction and fiction, about the uncertainties of life and the structures by which we survive.
