i have never read habermas and probably never will (only because of
lack of time, since i have no particular beef against the man), but
i remain quite interested if utterly confused by the various issues
discussed in this thread. i am not sure there are others such as i,
lacking the necessary knowledge of contemporary continental
philosophy (my own knowledge is limited to hans georg gadamer), but
i would encourage you not to despair! it has been an interesting
experience from up here in the peanut gallery ;-) and an educational
one. of course your post above is probably a shrewd rhetorical
elevation of the ante...
