- Title
Democratic faith. A philosophical profile of Richard J. Bernstein.
- Authors
Forst, Rainer
- Abstract
One might think that this goes too far for a pragmatist, but I believe that only a conviction like that can explain Dick's constant "refusal to submit to despair" (Bernstein, [4], p. 272), as he says about Dewey (describing himself, too). Bernstein himself shared this Habermasian ideal in a non-transcendental, though still rather strong, form as he held onto it as a " I telos i that directs us to overcoming systematically distorted communication" (Bernstein, [3], p. 195). In I The Abuse of Evil i (Bernstein, [6]), we find Bernstein squaring the circle by explaining the categorical moral ethos of pragmatic fallibilism.
