Description
Jürgen Habermas is one of the most important German philosophers and social theorists of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. His work has been compared in scope with Max Weber's, and in philosophical breadth to that of Kant and Hegel.
This introduction by Kenneth Baynes provides a comprehensive overview of Habermas's philosophical work, covering his ideas on the public sphere, critical theory, discourse ethics, democracy, constitutionalism, human rights, and cosmopolitanism. The book assesses Habermas's role as a prominent public intellectual and his criticism of postmodernism.
Suitable for anyone coming to Habermas's work for the first time, this book offers a valuable guide to understanding one of the key figures in contemporary philosophy.
