Forskingsspørgsmål

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)
