The most important intellectual in the Federal Republic of Germany
for the past three decades, Habermas has been a seminal contributor
to fields ranging from sociology and political science to
philosophy and cultural studies. Although he has stood at the
centre of concern in his native land, he has been less readily
accepted outside Germany, particularly in the humanities. His
theoretical work postulates the centrality of communication and
understanding, and as such his strategy of debate is marked by a
politically informed unity of theory and practice. Holub's book is
the first detailed account of the major debates in which Habermas
has engaged since the early sixties. It stems from the conviction
that his critics have not understood the political strategy behind
his various interventions, or the consistency that informs his
intellectual activities. Habermas is viewed in dialogue with
important philosophical, sociological and political currents in
West Germany. Holub demonstrates how Habermas pursues a course that
incorporates various aspects of his opponents' positions, while
simultaneously defending perceived threats to democracy and open
discussion.
