Jurgen 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. In this
much-needed introduction Kenneth Baynes engages with the full range
of Habermas's philosophical work, addressing his early arguments
concerning the emergence of the public sphere and his initial
attempt to reconstruct a critical theory of society in Knowledge
and Human Interests. He then examines one of Habermas's most
influential works, The Theory of Communicative Action, including
his controversial account of the rational interpretation of social
action. Also covered is Habermas's work on discourse ethics,
political and legal theory, including his views on the relation
between democracy and constitutionalism, and his arguments
concerning human rights and cosmopolitanism. The final chapter
assesses Habermas's role as a polemical and prominent public
intellectual and his criticism of postmodernism in The
Philosophical Discourse of Modernity, in addition to his more
recent writings on the relationship between religion and democracy.
Habermas is an invaluable guide to this key figure in contemporary
philosophy, and suitable for anyone coming to his work for the
first time.
