Notes
The following remarks are more developed in my Ungureanu (2008a), Ungureanu (2008b) and ‘Reflections on Habermas and Derrida on democracy: from public reason to deliberative rhetoric’ (under review with Constellations: an International Journal of Critical and Democratic Theory).
However, Habermas was already maintaining the notion of the ambivalente of rhetoric.
Among Thomassen's (2006) valuable contributions, I would point out his Deconstructing Habermas, which is, to my knowledge, the best existing discussion of Habermas and Derrida.
See, for example, Einstein's (1987) critique of Russell in his The World as I see it.
