Statement

Hansonian pre-rationality connects legitimacy, an agent's endorsement of its own reasoning, with intersubjective objectivity, agreement reached by exchanging reasons, so that reason exchange arrives at a common prior by modifying the prior.

Notes

The Habermas thread's formal hypothesis, in question form; conditioned on the reading task that would check the journal entry's reading of Habermas against his texts.
