On the occasion of Habermas's 80th birthday, the German publisher
Suhrkamp brought out five volumes of Habermas's work that spanned
the full range his philosophical work, from the theory of
rationality to the critique of metaphysics. For each of these
volumes, Habermas wrote an introduction that crystallized, in a
remarkably clear and succinct way, his thinking on the key
philosophical issues that have preoccupied him throughout his long
career. This new book by Polity brings together these five
introductions and publishes them together for the first time. The
result is a unique and comprehensive overview of Habermas's
philosophy in his own words. In the five chapters that make up this
volume, Habermas discusses the concept of communicative action and
the grounding of the social sciences in the theory of language; the
relationship between rationality and the theory of language;
discourse ethics; political theory and problems of democracy and
legitimacy; the critique of reason and the challenge posed by
religion in a secular age. The volume includes a substantial
introduction by Jean-Marc Durand-Gasselin which provides the reader
with all the necessary background to understand Habermas's
distinctive and original contribution to philosophy. Philosophical
Introductions will be an indispensable text for students and
scholars in philosophy and in the humanities and social sciences
generally, and for anyone interested in the most important
developments in philosophy and critical theory today.
