[liberationtech] Liberation Tech would like a word.

Great to meet so many people at the forefront of what they think is righ

and good to her that someone is reading/talking about Habermas!  (Hello
Jurgen from Liberationtech)

He contributed to shape the political consciousness of at least two
generations, but has been misunderstood/mislabelled/misrepresented

*ürgen Habermas may be the foremost intellectual in Europe. Since the 1960s
his scholarship has set research agendas in philosophy, sociology, and
history, while his newspaper articles and interviews have steered public
debates on topics from the memory of the Holocaust to the Iraq War. He may
also be the foremost intellectual of Europe, advocating for the continent’s
economic and political integration. I**n recent years, as that integration
has stalled, one might have expected Habermas’s public interventions to
gain in urgency. Instead, the opposite has happened: Although he has been
as philosophically and politically productive as ever, his work has seemed
to lose its relevance. Political developments against which he has
struggled for decades, from populist nationalism to the erosion of the
welfare state, seem more intractable than ever, while problems on which his
political theory has little purchase, such as the growing influence within
Europe of an illiberal and undemocratic China, appear ever more pressing.
Still eminent in the academy but increasingly marginal outside it, the
theorist best known for his notion of the “public sphere,” in which
intellectuals influence politics by shaping public opinion, risks becoming
the most compelling counterexample to his own ideal.*
