Bill, thanks for your interesting post about 'nature' (apparently in response to Fred). An obviously-thoughtful, new voice in the postings is SO welcome to...
Thanks for your note. I've always been especially interested in Sartre's "subjectivism" which I consider of more relevance to contemporary discussions than it...
hello Bill, yes, i guess that Habermas sought to erase the use of the phrase "quasi-transcendental" is his theory in response to criticisms from McCarthy &...
