  • Product Description

    The theoretical work of Jurgen Habermas 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. Jurgen Habermas provides the first detailed account of the major debates in which Habermas has engaged since the early 1960s. Robert Holub argues that Habermas' critics have not understood the political strategy behind his various interventions, or the consistency that informs his intellectual activities. Holub views Habermas in dialogue with important philosophical, sociological, and political currents in Germany, and demonstrates how Habermas pursues a course that incorporates various aspects of his opponents' positions while simultaneously defending perceived threats to democracy and open discussion.
