In this article, the author first argues that Habermas's distinction between the two modes of language use that, he alleges, are central to the two starkly different modes of human cognitive activities, that is, analytical-empirical sciences and hermeneutics, is untenable and should be eventually abandoned. For, contrary to Habermas's argument, the analytical-empirical sciences, if they are to be properly understood, must also be conceptualized as involving the performative mode of language use that Habermas thinks is characteristic of hermeneutics only. Second, by using historical examples, the author proceeds to demonstrate why Habermas's hermeneutic objectivism that is based on the methodology of rational reconstruction is doomed to remain wedded to the epistemological foundationalism that he wants to displace by introducing his methodology of rational reconstruction.

We have entered a reality zone already captured by its opposite: unreality. It is a world where nobody really wanted to venture. It is a world where order has given way to disorder; where reason has given way to unreason; where reality is compromised by truth; where guilt is presumed over innocence; where the once noble search for explanations has been replaced by a dizzying vortex of plastic flags, stars and stripes rhinestone belts, coffee klatch war strategists, Sunday barbecue patrioteering, militant denunciations of war protestors, a generalized fear of whatever lies ahead, xenophobic hostility, and point-blank outrage. Soccer moms in sports utility vehicles festooned with images of Old Glory park in dimly lit alleys and then slink into the local sex shop in search of red, white, and blue thongs for couch potato husbands strangely rejuvenated by daily doses of carnage, courtesy of CNN. Public school teachers across the country eagerly prepare new courses on Western civilization. Politicians sporting American flag lapel pins plan ways to purge domestic political dissent. Hollywood producers hunker down in their studios and plan new Rambo films. Retired generals shine in their new roles as political consultants, pronouncing the scenes in Afghanistan as invariably &dquo;fluid,&dquo; which is a giveaway that they do not know much more than their interviewers, and probably less. Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz basks in the national limelight again, this time advocating the use of &dquo;torture warrants&dquo; in specified circumstances when the issue of &dquo;time&dquo; is crucial. Their reason paralyzed by fear and replaced by the logic of mob fury, American citizens eagerly give up their right of habeas corpus

An image no longer tells more than a thousand words-images seem to offer many views from different angles. Perfectly recorded high-resolution images become enigmatic entities that are impossible to encipher. Although images show clear details, these images leave the spectator speechless, viewing the Taliban at war. The camera seems to be involved directly as the image-producing apparatus has become an active part of the battlefield and megazoom images are so close to the viewer.
