But consensus-oriented discourse ethics by itself is perhaps not the best way to pin down Habermas’s position. Sure, he can be taken as a bourgeois thinker whose liberal complacency betrayed the radicalism of the previous exiled Frankfurt generation. He also sidelined feminist research and boycotted Michel Foucault’s concept of the imbrication of knowledge with power, by insisting that there was such a thing as domination-free discourse. This picture makes you wonder whether he even belongs to the camp of critique. But it is partly a caricature.
