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.
