Description
This new edition provides a concise and clear introduction to Habermas's work, covering his writings on the public sphere, law and the state, science, religion, and contemporary Europe. William Outhwaite examines all of Habermas's major works, steering a steady course through the debates they have generated.
A detailed critical analysis of Habermas's most important work, The Theory of Communicative Action, is a key feature of this book. It also explores Habermas's appraisal of influential thinkers such as Foucault and Derrida, his defence of the Enlightenment project, and its implications for European integration.
This updated edition will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars in sociology, politics, philosophy, and social theory, offering a critical introduction to Habermas's work that is authoritative and accessible.
