Science does not begin with an antinomy—binomy—but with an infinitinomy. (Novalis, Allgemeines Brouillon).
Nobody can fully oppose or subtract to his epoch. He can choose a point of view and contradict it or evade it, but it is not in his hands to cover the whole spectrum of his time. It is not a matter of finitude. The world is not contradictory; it is polycontextural (Günther), i.e. it has multiple valid and simultaneous points of view, not only two. This has serious implications on the meaning of “critical” and “dialectical” thinking. Pluralistic ontologies, logics and political modes of organization are responses to the same historical force. But polycontextural doesn’t mean simply multiple, disseminated or rhizomatic. Multiplicity has no structure. Every set is a structureless collection. Dissemination privileges time over space, displacement over simultaneity. A rhizome is poorly structured; it privileges the local over the local. Polycontextural means both multiple and connected. Or: non-trivially connected.
