Hello, all.

The post below bounced because it originated from an address other than
the one the writer is subscribed at, and so had to be manually forwarded
to the list. 

However, the Spoon Collective is no longer going to forward posts that
come from non-working addresses, as this one did. Please be sure to post
only from the address at which you are subbed to the list, and if that
address changes let us know so we can update our files.

Thanks for your cooperation.

I, like Jeff, am new to Habermas - I am currently  reading 'technology and
science as ideology' and am particularly interested in 'technocratic
consciousness' as a way of understanding how actions are legitimated -
particularly 'war'/'conflict'.  Unlike Jeff, I am finding his work heavy
going, though often rewarding. So I would appreciate some closer, more
introductory, analysis.

Perhaps we could identify certain terms and discuss ways to apply thjem -
is this too basic?
