My favorite quote of Habermas ist about Luhmann’s[1] theory:
"It‘s all wrong, but it‘s got quality".

I like Luhmann’s theory better. What i like about it is that Luhmann argues that the smallest denominator of a social system is a realation between two. Habermas says it can be brought down to an individual. Which in my mind defeats the “social” part.
I wondered to which extent Habermas with the Frankfurter Schule and Critical Theory could be held partially responsible for postmodernism's march through the institutions, identity politics, and indirectly for Trump's two election victories. But it looks like he was explicitly critical of postmodernism and other counter-enlightenment movements.
RIP.

RIP. He was a giant among philosophers.

I have to say I'm quite disappointed by his attitude against Palestine.
RIP, but not with the victims.
The series "Self Under Siege" is one of my favorite things on YouTube. Highly recommend watching all 8 in order.
