Description
Jürgen Habermas and Pragmatism explores the connections between Habermas's work and America's most significant philosophical movement, pragmatism. This collection considers the influence of pragmatism on Habermas's thought and the tensions between his social theory and pragmatism. The book brings together essays by distinguished thinkers in philosophy, law, and critical theory, covering topics such as language, rationality, democracy, objectivity, and aesthetics. It also examines the relationship between Habermas and key figures in American pragmatism, including Kant, Peirce, Mead, Dewey, Piaget, Apel, Brandom, and Rorty. This collection provides a unique insight into the intersections of Habermas's thought with pragmatist ideas, offering valuable perspectives on contemporary debates in philosophy, politics, and law.
