How to Build Windmills in CSCW Research and Attack Them
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper discusses Sharrock’s and Button’s criticism of our attempt to use Habermas’ communicative action theory to analyze group work platforms. We demonstrate that they misconstrue our goals of the paper, misinterpret our analysis of Habermas’ action types, and misunderstand the concept of critical science. At the end we question the usefulness of these types of debates in furthering CSCW research.
