Charles Taylor on Jurgen Habermas

November 19, 2009

in philosophy

One brilliant philosopher reflects on another:

In other words, for Habermas, ethical deliberation is primarily social, dialogical; it is worked out between agents. Of course, in a secondary way, we can and often do deliberate on our own, but the shape of our ethical world is dialogically elaborated, and this conditions all our moral thinking, even when we want to rebel against the morality of our community.
