Book Description
This volume examines the historical and intellectual contexts out of which Habermas’ work emerged, and offers an overview of his main ideas, including those in his most recent publication. Among the topics discussed are: his relationship to Marx and the Frankfurt School of critical theory, his unique contributions to the philosophy of social sciences, the concept of “communicative ethics,” and the critique of postmodernism. Particular attention is paid to Habermas’ recent work on democratic theory and the constitutional state.
Review
“…White has compiled here an excellent set of essays, especially on Habermas’s most recent reflections on discource theory.” Choice
“…a good introduction to the impact of Habermas’ theories of democracy, law, social criticism, and ethics for those who are not familiar with Habermas’ work, his dense writing style, and the three-century tradition of continental thought upon which he relies….with its select bibliography and straightforward, non-technical articles, this volume should provide a possible point of entry to the variety of English-language debates surrounding Habermas’ theories of politics and morality.” Christopher F. Zurn, Canadian Philosophical Review
“This is a wonderful collection.” David A. Freeman, The European Studies Journal
