I  initiated an interesting discussion with 
someone, on this list or perhaps  the frankfurt-school list, about the 
degree to which  normative  liberal ideals remain just ideals or are 
effectively embodied in actual  institutions.


The norms of equality and individual rights, which I think are normative  
liberal ideals, are applied in several institutional contexts, namely, legal  
procedures.  But, are often not abided in social contexts.  But then  this leads 
to social interaction, albeit somewhat more emotional that preferred  by most 
I imagine, which is argumentative and may take on moralistic  connotations or 
responses of domination.  The only application I can think  of is 
argumentation or even conflict.  What did you detemrine?
