Subject: [HAB:] Getting real about progressive practice: 25 models


Below is a link to abstracts of 25 recent applications
of Habermas's work that I consider progressive,
contemporary in focus, and sometimes very unique,
pertaining to education, organizational management or
public administration, cultural studies, international
politics, and miscellaneous theoretical and
philosophical topics ("Social Ethics," may be as good
a rubric as any). A list of the titles is included
below (as well as at the top of the linked page). 

These are articles that apparently *work* with
Habermas's works in an applied manner, not just
introducing the reader to Habermas relative to the
applied context. (I haven't read any of the articles;
it's the abstracts that fascinate me. Please let me
know what you think, if you track any of them down.)

When I harp about progressive practice that relates to
social evolution, this is the kind and scale of
context that I wish to have in mind, especially with
respect to several Yahoo group subscribers involved
with organizational and information management.
