We need to return to Hegel and to Marx, and to the suggestion that alienation and false consciousness require a kind of investigation that goesbeyond participants' practices, ...
Just a couple of trivial comments, Martin. "False consciousness" dates from Lukacs, but really, in my opinion, is an invention of anti-communism in the 1970s, falsely imputing the concept to Marx. The idea is of course quite meaningless in a Hegelian perspective.
As Andy has noted, it's very odd that
Habermas has never shown interest in Vygotsky, for example.)
And I have made efforts to get senior Frankfurt School people to consider Vygotsky, without success. I know that Frederick van Gelder has read my critique of Habermas on this point, and I have made critiques of Axel Honneth on this that I know his close collaborators at least have read. Nancy Fraser is the only one I know who rates Vygtosky highly, but I don't she's ever actually used him in her work.

But as I say, it's just in my imagination! Martin
