An open question the Institute puts to the texts. Raised in stage 03 Relationship.

Q: The surviving question, carried from Gadamer's chapter 4 (negation presupposes the question, p. 369) into Habermas (T&J pp. 12, 154 against p. 78; TCA 2:35). If "understanding" is defined as discursive uptake, the thesis that understanding is linguistic is true by stipulation, and the burden returns to him to say why performative registration that revises expectations is not already a form of understanding. This question can be lost.

Passages: Gadamer, Truth and Method, p. 369 · Habermas, Truth and Justification, pp. 12, 78, 154, and TCA II, p. 35
