The retirement of the distinguished philosopher Jurgen Habermas
from his chair at the University of Frankfurt signalled an
important caesura in the history of Critical Theory: the transition
from the Habermasian project, to different forms of inquiry in the
work of the next generation. This change-over happens at a time
when it has become clear that Habermas's systematic exploration of
communicative rationality has reached the point where both its
achievements and its limitations had become evident. The essays
collected in this volume address the problems connected with this
transition, partly by returning to the insights of the first
generation (Adorno and Benjamin), partly by focusing on questions
raised by Habermas's work. Whatever the difference in the authors'
positions, this collection gains its unity through their common
interest in the significance and value of Critical Theory today and
in its future as a philosophical project.
