Subject: Re: HAB: a comparative article


Yes, check this book out:
White, Stephen K, __The recent work of Jürgen Habermas : reason, justice,
and modernity /
Cambridge [Cambridgeshire] ; New York : Cambridge University Press,1988

Look at these articles too --but most importantly, look at what Alan
Gewirth himself says in his book __The Community of Rights__ about
Habermas, mostly in footnotes, see index of that book.

Best wishes with your project.

Record 1 of 3 in The Philosopher's Index (1940-2000/03)
TI: Morality and Modernity. 
AU: POOLE,-Ross 
PB: Routledge : New York, 1991 
AB: This book argues that the modern world calls into existence certain
conceptions of morality but also creates ideals of rationality and agency
which destroy the grounds for taking morality seriously. It argues that
utilitarianism and Kantianism are mo 
ralities appropriate to the modern public world, and that a
quasi-Aristotelian ethic of virtue is characteristic of private life. It
presents a critique of some significant responses to modernity: neo-Kantian
liberalism (Gewirth, Rawls and Habermas); nati 
onalism; Nietzsche's positive' nihilism; and the evocation of past
communities (MacIntyre). Finally, it argues that while we moderns' may lack
sufficient reason to act as morality requires, we do have reason to hope
for the kind of society which would mak 
e a rational practice of morality possible.

TI: IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE LAWS OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES. 
AU: HONOLKA,-H 
SO: Philosophy-and-Social-Criticism. 1982; 9,191-226 
AB: THE IDEA THAT MAN COULD EMANCIPATE HIMSELF FROM SOCIAL LAWS GOVERNING
HIS BEHAVIOR, WHEN HE OBTAINS KNOWLEDGE OF THESE LAWS, IS AS OLD AS IT IS
CONFUSED. THE ARTICLE EXAMINES SEVERAL SUCH CONCEPTS (EMPIRIC-ANALYTICAL,
MARXIST-LENINIST, AND THAT OF A 
GEWIRTH) AND DEVELOPS A NEW CONCEPT COMBINING GEWIRTH'S APPROACH WITH
CRITICAL THEORY. IT SHOWS, WHY AND HOW THIS NEW CONCEPT SHOULD BE
INTEGRATED INTO HABERMAS' LATEST VERSION OF CRITICAL THEORY AS PUT FORWARD
IN "THEORIE DES KOMMUNIKATIVEN HANDELNS."

TI: THE GOOD SAMARITAN IN RECENT AMERICAN MORAL PHILOSOPHY. 
AU: GLEBE-MOLLER,-JENS 
SO: Philosophical-Investigations. 1981; 4,38-52 
AB: THE PRINCIPLE OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN HAS BEEN DISCUSSED IN A NUMBER OF
RECENT PUBLICATIONS WITHIN THE FIELD OF MORAL PHILOSOPHY IN THE UNITED
STATES, NOTABLY IN DONAGAN, "THE THEORY OF MORALITY" AND GEWIRTH, "REASON
AND MORALITY". ON THE BASIS OF WITT 
GENSTEIN'S ACCOUNT OF THE CONCEPT OF A RULE AND OF HABERMAS' "VALIDITY"
CLAIMS I ARGUE THAT THE DISCUSSION OF THE PRINCIPLE IN THE AFOREMENTIONED
BOOKS IS MODELLED ON THE QUASI-UTILITARIAN CONCEPTION OF ECONOMIC MAN.
