Leo et al.:

Interesting question.  What exactly does Habermas **oppose**, for assuming that
critique is the essential Frankfurt orientation, and that critique is an 
oppositional perspective, I think it is possible to credit Habermas with 
an oppositional perspective.  Perhaps the devotion that Habermas abandons,
however, is allegiance to the working class (and not, for instance, to
domination).  One has to wonder at his appreciation of Talcott Parsons, 
however.
