If a person wants others to develop  understanding of a topic as 
complex as Habermas's theories, how would be  the best way of
going about it.  Habermas has strong ideas about this,  wouldn't 
you say?



Hi Sue,
Everyone who wants to should 'chip in' with anything that might be helpful  
and this includes opinions, not simply knowledge, if you accept the  
distinction.  The list is specifically for this reason: to include  everyone.  Some 
people are very well-read and this needs to be balanced  with views from those who 
consider applying these ideas without necessarily  having read the oeuvre.  
 
The best way of going about developing an understanding Habermas is to read  
a bit of his work and then to ask questions.
 
Fred
