Postmetaphysical Thinking
No full textThe development of empirical research methods in both the social and the natural sciences has deeply impacted the self- conception of philosophy. Jürgen Habermas aims to strike a balance between two ways of understanding the relationship between philosophy and the sciences: between a conception of philosophy as an Archimedean point from which to view the human condition and a conception of philosophy as a mere artefact of Western culturally embedded assumptions. Against the first, Habermas aims to integrate the resources and methods of the social sciences into philosophy and to deny that philosophy can proceed outside of historical and social contexts. On his view, philosophical knowledge is produced communicatively, through socially embedded dialogue. Against the second, Habermas claims fundamental questions about the human condition cannot be answered by purely social or natural scientific approaches. His “postmetaphysical” methodology aims to integrate empirical resources into philosophy without losing sight of what is unique to philosophy: namely, its ability to step back from the empirical data in order to reconstruct in a systematic way underlying universal truths about us, our societies and our place in the world.This is the author's final version of a book chapter that was published in Jürgen Habermas: The Key Concepts.Yates, Melissa.

Billy Yates Oral History Interview
No full textOral history interview with recreational fisherman Joseph Billy Yates. Yates, a native of Fort Pierce, is a funeral director by profession. He began fishing as a boy and, as a teenager, worked as a mate for several charter boat captains. Yates is very familiar with the Oculina Bank, which was the best place to catch grouper and snapper. The area is more difficult for recreational fishermen, so he does not think they have been affected as much by its closure, but the commercial fishermen definitely have. In his opinion, fishery management requires a combination of quotas, minimum sizes, and closed areas; there is no one way that will be good for all fisheries. In this interview, Yates recounts his personal fishing history and shares some of his fishing stories

Rawls and Habermas on Religion in the Public Sphere
No full textIn recent essays, Jürgen Habermas endorses an account of political liberalism much like John Rawls’. Like Rawls, he argues that laws and public policies should be justified only in neutral terms, i.e. in terms of reasons that people holding conflicting world-views could accept. Habermas also, much like Rawls, distinguishes reasonable religious citizens, whose views should be included in public discourse, from unreasonable citizens in his expectation that religious citizens self-modernize. But in sharing these Rawlsian features, Habermas is vulnerable to some of the same objections posed to Rawls. In this article I assess Habermas’ ability to overcome two objections frequently posed to Rawls: (1) that religious citizens are unfairly expected to split their identities in public discourse, and (2) that the burdens of citizenship are asymmetrically distributed. I conclude that while he may be able to overcome the second, the first remains a problem for him.Peer reviewe
