Foucault stands for freedom but not for truth and for the idea that "justice"
most allways be for "just us". The only freedom Habermas recognises is the
freedom to bow down before truth and his "justice" is for "just us" but he needs
to beleive that "just us" is everyone AFTER siting down with Habermas to have a
sensible conversation in which we all decide that everything really important
Habermas thinks he knows is "truth" which nobody can or would denie under ideal
speech conditions. This is all in the world you know or need to know.
