This point of view, I will admit, is clearly distinct from that of technicians and sociologists; and I am far from saying that it is the only acceptable view. I will not even go so far as to believe that it is possible to establish a harmony among these different points of view. I only claim that truth, here as elsewhere, is not unique; that it is composed of several truths that are mutually insoluble, linked in a sort of paradoxical complexity; that truth is a complementary system of mutually contradictory truths. This is a new conception of reality, a conception that is in accord with the latest evolutions of science and philosophy. This conception has only recently overturned all classical geometry, logic and philosophy. It is creating a new situation that is radically transforming our view of the world and of human life. Because of this, today we are obliged to call into question everything that we know and everything that we have done up till now. (...) The doctrines of Le Corbusier and of the old Bauhaus in Germany were revolutionary in their time, and they constitute one of the bases of the revolution that is presently beginning. But their doctrines were all based on classical philosophy and logic. Today we need a new ideological foundation. We need new doctrines.
