Summary: Thumbs up
Comment: This is a welcome addition to the proverbial confrontation between Habermas' transcendental pragmatics and Foucault's geneology. Although both thinkers chose language as the vehicle of emancipation, Habermas' persistence in holding on the the Kantian universals of reasons in intersubjective interaction through applying the maxims of reason leaves no room for localised considerations. Foucault's engagment with the Kantian conception of enlightenment is one of historical contingency. He advocates a formulation of ethics where emancipation and maturity are not set by the normative practices of Habermas and Kant but the locale's own arrival at its own truths. The articles shed more light on the differences between the two ethical stances enriching the literature on the subject.
