Subject: Re: HAB: Habermas and the Frankfurt School


I suspect that one of the differences between the Frankfort school on the 
one hand, and Habermas and Apel, on the other hand, is their relationship 
with Kant, or at least with an openness to transcendental philosopy. 
Though Habermas and Apel are often reluuctant and apologetic in appealing 
to Kant and transcendental philosophy, their project of providing grounds 
for a theory of communicative action without appealing to particular 
features or interests of the discussants is as Kantian as Rawls' original 
position is. I'm a graudaute student working on Kant, and I would very 
much appreciate it if anyone out their with any references to literature 
discussing the rleaiotnship between either the Frankfurt school and Kant, 
ot Habermas and Apel and Kant, would post them to me.
