This summary was widely checked out in the process of writing my thesis at the Royal College of Art, London - doctoral thesis (2002) 'Exploding Cinema 1992 - 1999, culture and democracy' by Stefan Szczelkun. Copy available in the RCA library and from the British Library. Abridged for Wikipedia by the author. Full text online.

It may seem long for a Wikipedia entry but I argue that the two volumes of TCA are also very long and densely argued and it is impossible to do justice to this work and be very brief. My summary does leave out many parts of Habermas argument especially with the tradition of Sociology. But hopefully the key arguments are rendered faithfully for common edification.

On just rereading the entry it seems of utmost relevance to the operation of Wikipedia itself - and this hsould be a further reason for retaining a longer summary of TCA.

What is probably needed in addition is an up-to-date literature review of the main discussions of TCA. Many discussants of TCA seem not to have read volume 2! which has led to impoverished reactions to this theory. Szczels (talk) 11:33, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
