ISBN: 9783039119929 / Angielski / Miękka / 239 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

However, this theoretical emphasis on the irreducibility of the rational content of debate cannot avoid abstracting communicative universals from the empirical communication practices which are always embedded in multiple contexts of discourse, identity, media and institutions. This tension in Habermas...
