I am avidly reading your paper Michael.
I am currently polishing off a paper for the Hegelian market entitled "The
Missing Mediation in Pragmatic Interpretations of Hegel".
Obviously I do *not* mean CHAT when I talk about mediation being "missing",
but specifically Fukuyama, RW Williams and critical theorists like Habermas
and Honneth, the latter basing themselves on Mead and Piaget and stalwartly
refusing to acknowledge the existence of Vygotsky and co., something which
actually really pisses me off!
So for me the timing is perfect! Thank you!
