The dialectician's critique of habermas is very much along the lines that he
continues to use many of the methods of dialectical analysis immanent
critique, deconstruction/reconstruction of either/or dualisms etc., yet
transposes the grounds for so doing into a neo-Kantian framework which
contradicts such methods. Perhaps, the point is more that this combination is
retrograde not that Habermas in toto is?
