A short reflection on my approach the fray of daily politics in a philosophy class. Hope you find it helpful!
a) skepticism first!, b) structural approach (vs simplistic Manichean Teleology)
suspension of judgement always a good starting point
force for good? define good, Enlightenment, common interest, free development of each & all, towards the communicative rationality (Mill/ Habermas) in the public sphere
public sphere:
vs irrationality, Freud
vs corporate monopoly power, Marx
vs gov bureaucracy, Weber Habermas
BUT also, *Global, international public sphere ~ Wallerstein & Gramsci
’act locally, BUT think globally!’ (and systematically!)
