Subject: M-TH: Re: M-I: Free Speech Wars


Mark asks:

'Anyone for Habermas?'

At least poor Juergen would see this as orchestrated instrumental action by
which light discursively unredeemed values constitute the means and a
further penetration of the last vestiges of the lifeworld by the system
constitutes the end.

Which seems a pretty fair, if rather wordy, take, I'd have thought ...

Mind you, I'd like to hear James on what constitutes a free speech war
first ...

Cheers,
Rob.
