Subject: Re: HAB: Human Nature


I never had much respect for Zizek, but this is an uncommonly intelligent 
article.  I like his treatment of the mind-body problem, and the 
relationship of the abstract issue of tampering with nature to the silenced 
issue of the nature of the capitalist marketplace and the social context of 
the application of technological advances.  Very sharp.

Since I haven't read Habermas' own words, I can't say much about the 
remarks on Habermas.  Maybe this throws light on possible defects of the 
system-lifeworld model?
