Dear List,

Given the high level of theoretical abstraction H. frequently makes 
reference to in _BFN_, why does he feel the need to give 'time' over to 
dealing with 'empirical doubts' about the coherency of his model?

The conflation of prescriptive/descriptive/idealising tendencies in the 
_BFN_ is VERY frustrating. Where do other List members feel Habermas wants 
to go in this work? I don't mean the explicit 'theme' of the work as much as 
its 'objective' as a theoretical 'product'.
