**Hvordan kan Keltys observation af rekursiv offentlighed begrundes filosofisk?**

Antropologen Christopher Kelty udviklede begrebet rekursiv offentlighed
(recursive publics),
som defineres således:

> "[A] recursive public is one whose existence
> (which consists solely in address through discourse)
> is only possible through discursive and technical reference
> to the means of creating this public.
> Recursiveness is always contingent
> on a limit which determines the depth of a recursive procedure.
> So, for instance, a Free Software project may depend
> on some other kind of software or operating system,
> which may in turn depend on
> particular open protocols or a particular process,
> which in turn depend on
> certain kinds of hardware that implement them.
> The 'depth' of recursion is determined
> by the openness necessary for the project itself."  
> [@Kelty2008]

Dette er bygget på en antropologisk empirisk observation.
Men kan filosofien give os en begrundelse
for rekursive offentligheders virkelighed?
@Frega2019chap5 kritiserer Habermas’ teori om kommunikativ rationalitet
for ikke at rumme andre kvaliteter ved fællesskabet
end at være rum for samtalen,
og favorierer i stedet Honneth.
(Vi fornemmer at Honneth kan bruges som filosofisk teori til vores spørgsmål)
