as a student in Frankfurt, I had the privilege of attending some classes taught by Habermas in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I would be lying if a claimed that I understood the content or significance of his theory, but to me he personifies the German post-war public intellectual. End of an era.
I hope they all end up being prosecuted by the International Criminal Court

If you want to do an MA in North American Studies, you should come to Hannover (see cool video below). And if you want to do an MA in Philosophy of Science, you should ALSO come to Hannover. We may not have a video (yet), but we are also smart, international, and fun :-)

"Feest demonstrates how there is no such thing as a theory-free exploration of psychological phenomena: exploration demands operationisation of some kind, which in turn reflects some kind of theoretical commitment about the object of research."
