The future of Europe and the role it will play in the 21st century
are among the most important political questions of our time. The
optimism of a decade ago has now faded but the stakes are higher
than ever. The way these questions are answered will have enormous
implications not only for all Europeans but also for the citizens
of Europe's closest and oldest ally - the USA.
In this new book, one of Europe's leading intellectuals examines
the political alternatives facing Europe today and outlines a
course of action for the future. Habermas advocates a policy of
gradual integration of Europe in which key decisions about Europe's
future are put in the hands of its peoples, and a "bipolar
commonality" of the West in which a more unified Europe is able to
work closely with the United States to build a more stable and
equitable international order.
This book includes Habermas's portraits of three long-time
philosophical companions, Richard Rorty, Jacques Derrida and Ronald
Dworkin. It also includes several important new texts by Habermas
on the impact of the media on the public sphere, on the enduring
importance religion in "post-secular" societies, and on the design
of a democratic constitutional order for the emergent world
society.
