I love his

but feel this ponderous two-volume set

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Theory_of_Communicative_Ac...

is thoroughly refuted by our last two decades of experience with electronic communications.

I wondered to which extent Habermas with the Frankfurter Schule and Critical Theory could be held partially responsible for postmodernism's march through the institutions, identity politics, and indirectly for Trump's two election victories. But it looks like he was explicitly critical of postmodernism and other counter-enlightenment movements.

RIP.

My favorite quote of Habermas ist about Luhmann’s[1] theory: "It‘s all wrong, but it‘s got quality".

I like Luhmann’s theory better. What i like about it is that Luhmann argues that the smallest denominator of a social system is a realation between two. Habermas says it can be brought down to an individual. Which in my mind defeats the “social” part.

Rick Roderick on Habermas.

The series "Self Under Siege" is one of my favorite things on YouTube. Highly recommend watching all 8 in order.

I have to say I'm quite disappointed by his attitude against Palestine. RIP, but not with the victims.

"Jürgen Habermas is dead. The philosopher and sociologist died on Saturday in Starnberg at the age of 96."
