LINK Philosophize This! : Episode #143 ... Jürgen Habermas pt. 1 - The Public Sphere
I’ve heard endless harping and dogpiling on so-called Critical Theory from folks such as Boghossian, Lindsay, Pluckrose, and Coyne on how it allegedly connects to Wokeism and postmodernism. This whole obnoxious schtick seems to be pointed at stuff that isn’t really Critical Theory (Frankfurt style).
Given Boghossian’s promotion of Street Epistemology I would think Jurgen Habermas’s work something of benefit toward that project. Or at least acknowledge there is an entire arc with Habermas, Honneth, Jaeggi and others who aren’t in their current crosshairs.
At this point these new atheist opinion leaders are in full moral panic meltdown and ensnaring way too much bycatch.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I'm impressed by your big words....not!
And "atheist leaders" ???? Or did you mean to say, Much more accurately, "atheist thinkers"? And let's not fail to discuss "ensnaring way too much bycatch"....Do you mean like the cultured, intelligent dolphins that are drowned when dragnets snare them? And how would you compare their worth as opposed to, say, sardines? "Bycatch" is damned pejorative, ya know?

Thanks for the invite to the salon to discuss that thought provoking podcast. To rescue reason from post-modernity or anything else try education (enlightenment). Technological advances facilitate communicative rationality (main topic) concomitant democracy and reasoning (and freedom from superstition) rather than detracting from it as suggested in the podcast, while unfortunately also assisting the sale of opinion (media). Interactions are always influenced positively and negatively by self interest. Live to control (punchline of the podcast).
