  Dear Isabel:

  The place to look in is my two volume collection of Karl-Otto Apel's essays. __Selected Essays__, 2 vls Edited by Eduardo Mendieta (Atlantic Highlands: Humanities Press, 1994-1996). In the index to these volumes i pointed out where there is a discussions of this central theme. But more especifically, in the essay "The Challenge of a Totalizing Critique of Reason and the Program of a Philosphical Theory of Rationality Types" in Volume two has one of the most important discussions of the consequences of Apel's theory of performative self-contradiction.

  In the recently released selection From a Transcendental-Semiotic Point of View (Manchester and New York: Manchester University Press, 1998), in the index you will find more references.

  And, finally, in Apel's most recent collection of essays __Auseindersetzungen. In Erprobung des Transzendentalischen Ansatzes__(Franfkurt am Main: Suhrkamp, 1998), you will find the most recent discussion. Fourtunately, and strangely, this volume does have an index...page 861, has the entry "Selbswiderspruch, pragmatischer (performativer) with a list of a about 40 pages where the term is discussed and defined.

    Hello!

    Anyone knows where can I find, in the work of Karl - Otto Apel, a sistematic defense or explanation about Apel`s concept of " the principle of performative auto-contradiction" ?

    I will be very pleased if someone could answer,

    Best wishes for everybody,
