>The author of the Guardian piece is right to cite Horkheimer toward the end--nearly every day I find his work more prophetic and applicable to our contemporary situation Seeing reason as socially constructed is just another mode of thinking that's not any more superior then seeing reason as a tool or embedded in the frame of being an individual. That's the problem with this school of thought. The critiques make valid observations while falling into the same fallacies in their own way. Collectivist reductionism has sins of its own.
