I expected to write this today (Sunday, 9/25). Then, I changed my mind. But the page here indicates that I seriously intend to do it soon. It will be delightful to do.

For now: The odd notion (commonly used, but...) is ascribed to Habermas in the “Epilogue: The Inner Compass” of a biography of him, which has been recently published. I did a posting related to that, which didn’t directly address the notion. But on second thought, I want to directly address the notion.
