Glen,

Usually in the nineties the debate was perceived to be between Lyotard
and Habermas.  The differend was an implicit critique of consensus in
the latter's theory of communicative interaction. 

Is there anything more specific regarding the differend you'd like to
discuss?

Hi Everyone,

Three things:

Has anyone followed through with the Differend in their work and has 
published stuff I can read? 

What was the big dispute between lyotard and others (I can't remember 
who) (hmm this question makes a lot of sense!) in the french 
intellectual (post)marxist community, I think in the late 1990's?

And lastly, sorry for my outburst in defence of my thesis work. I have 
so much invested (in every sense) in this venture, I couldn't help 
myself but react rather badly.

Ciao,
Glen.
