discursive moments
appropriative notes

 

Enstancing comprehensive conceptuality shows in terms of special domains and topics, traditional concepts and themes; and academic practices.

The listing below results from the occas-ioned discussions that have been gathered into prospective groupings that my group-ing interests evinced (especially relating to my longstanding interest in Habermas and Heidegger’s coping with his unexpected times). Obviously, this doesn’t pretend to encompass all dscursive options (which are endless).
