Full title :Habermas : a critical reader / edited by Peter Dews

Summary

This volume provides a wide-ranging critical introduction to the thought of Jurgen Habermas. Some contributions explore the relation between Habermas's philosophy and the thought of major predecessors, including Kant, Hegel, Marx and Heidegger. Others elucidate the political context of Habermas's thinking, while a final section presents the responses of leading German contemporaries to his work. The result is a picture of Habermas's oeuvre and achievement. Habermas emerges as a thinker whose outstanding powers of renewal and innovation are inseparable from his engagement with the major traditions of European thought, and his own intellectual and political context.

Providing a critical introduction to the thought of Jurgen Habermas, this text explores the relation between Habermas's philosophy and the thought of major predecessors, including Kant, Hegel, Marx and Heidegger.
