Dear List Members,

I am currently grappling with Habermas' concept of discourse and as a long time
lurker on this list, I have finally summoned the courage to ask a couple of
questions -

1. Is it correct to consider discourse in Habermas' use of the term as a change
process? Can anyone's thinking remain totally unchanged following linguistic
engagement of that kind?

2. If this is so, do you think that Habermas concept of discourse can be
related to the Vygotskian notions of mediation and scaffolding? When we are
engaged in discourse, are we in a kind of zone of proximal development?
