[FRA:] [Adorno-Hegel] Something about Kant from ND

[Ralph Dumain]

If Habermas wrote such rubbish, he's gone senile.  I guess he had to 
set limits to reason to make way for faith.  It's bad enough that 
others coopt critical theory for theology, but to see top members of 
the Frankfurt School doing this is to induce vomiting. I'm not 
impressed that there is any theological content in Adorno whatever, 
in spite of references to "redemption". It's just a metaphor.
