a post-Habermasian aspect of linguistic existence

(and, so, there not be offended)—maybe appreciating (like I need to) a feature of the creative process in formulating critical stances (interpretive possibilities turned to critical use), not so much that you are really implicated, but that one can be so implicated (as shown by experiment with appearances), while I, in this very stating, express (I hope) the decenteredness of a critical developmentality. No matter whether you are implicated validly in that other commentary (at your blog), the kind of problematic displayed—the kind of dynamic so framed—happens and is worth entertaining.
“So, onward with the learning that never ends (in a hermeneutical landscape where we always already are).”
