The Problem With George Herbert Mead

Mansfield: Habermas uses a lot of terminology that's hard to parse, and it's not straightforwardly within the sort of normal philosophical vocabulary. A lot of what he's done over the course of his career, which runs back into the late 1950s, is engaged with other thinkers. He says our problem in the modern world is to come up with an ethics that's not just I like Benola and you like chocolate and never the tointia lead. Our boss wants to say there's a kind of intermediate point. And that's why communication and communicative rationality is so important.
