Editorial Review Product Description Habermas argues that in order to engage in this dialogue, two conditions must be met: religion must accept the authority of secular reason as the fallible results of the sciences and the universalistic egalitarianism in law and morality; and conversely, secular reason must not set itself up as the judge concerning truths of faith. This argument was developed in part as a reaction to the conception of the relation between faith and reason formulated by Pope Benedict XVI in his 2006 Regensburg address. In 2007 Habermas conducted a debate, under the title ‘An Awareness of What Is Missing', with philosophers from the Jesuit School for Philosophy in Munich. This volume includes Habermas's essay, the contributions of his interlocutors and Habermas's reply to them. It will be indispensable reading for anyone who wishes to understand one of the most urgent and intractable issues of our time. Customer Reviews (1)

Editorial Review Product Description Jurgen Habermas has surprised many observers with his call for "the secular society to acquire a new understanding of religious convictions", as Florian Schuller, director of the Catholic Academy of Bavaria, describes it his foreword. Habermas discusses whether secular reason provides sufficient grounds for a democratic constitutional state. Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI argues for the necessity of certain moral principles for maintaining a free state, and for the importance of genuine reason and authentic religion, rather than what he calls "pathologies of reason and religion", in order to uphold the states moral foundations. Both men insist that proponents of secular reason and religious conviction should learn from each other, even as they differ over the particular ways that mutual learning should occur.

Good book
Postmodern situations, postmodern ideas
Great, thought-provoking
A most noble endeavour This book is a reminder to us all of the role played by philosophy in shaping our present and a call for a return to philosophical reflection in order to forge a sustainable future for everybody. It's a start, and credit is due to Habermas, Derrida and of course Borradori for their collaboration. The world may well be awash with pragmatism (much of it needed admittedly) but there has to be a degree of reflexivity if we are going to avoid a groundhog day scenario. I mean, we're all idealists at heart, aren't we?

Editorial Review Product Description In Between Facts and Norms Jürgen Habermas works out thelegal and political implications of his Theory of CommunicativeAction (1981), bringing to fruition the project announced with hispublication of The Structural Transformation of the Public Spherein 1962. This new work is a major contribution to recent debates on the rule oflaw and the possibilities of democracy in postindustrial societies. Itoffers a sweeping, sociologically informed conceptualization of law andbasic rights, a normative account of the rule of law and theconstitutional state, an attempt to bridge normative and empiricalapproaches to democracy, and an account of the social context requiredfor democracy. The work concludes with a bold proposal for a newparadigm of law that goes beyond the dichotomies that have afflictedmodern political theory from its inception and that still underliecurrent controversies between so-called liberals and civic republicans.

The Latest Major Work by Habermas
Put Your Hope in the Law
Democracy: well-known, little understood
intervention into the globe and democracy
I didn't want to review this.... but..... Habermas in this book is very German. The book isstraightforward: it deals with the dual nature of laws.... i.e. that theideals we establish in laws are conditioned by a sociological process andthen interpreted through the same process. It's not a book that one wouldread for pleasure... it's not a book that one would want to have around toplease girls. It's dry at times, but CAN BE very rewarding. Please, dearGod, do not let this be an introduction to philosophy. But-- as the reviewsabove hint at-- it is an important work by an important author if taken inthe right light and for the right reasons. I do not intend here to writea review of Habermas: that's way beyond what needs to be done in thissituation. He's not a whole lot of fun though.... ;)... but a brilliantman, nonetheless.... ...

Introduction without Bowdlerization
turgid I've read a lot of philosophy, but even I had a hard time getting through this book, and I didn't learn much about Habermas. I do not accept the justification that complex philosophical matters require bad writing. Prose loaded with twenty-cent words and pompous jargon is not only a poor start for the struggling student, but an unwitting comment on the writer's capacity for the kind of pompous intellectualizing that drives students and seekers OUT of philosophy. With the exception of essayists Nancy Love and Simone Chambers, most of the contributors to this troublesome tome need to go back to Strunk and White, William Zinsser, and basic English composition to learn how NOT to write sentences like this one: "The insight of the metacritique of pure reason is that the comprehensiveness of a system of reason cannot be predicated on comprehensiveness itself, and that a certain amount of incomprehensibility is necessary to make 'systematic' or 'complete comprehension' possible." Setting aside the question of how many times can we work "compre-" into an incomprehensible phrasing, in plain English it means--I think--that a thought system's clarity doesn't guarantee the scope of its applicability. Why the hell not say so, and in a way that doesn't unconsciously make an irony of itself? One expects this sort of thing in a journal, but for beginners it's useless and discouraging. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Jacques Derrida and Jürgen Habermas have long represented opposite camps in contemporary thought. Derrida, who pioneered the intellectual style of inquiry known as deconstruction, ushered in the postmodern age with his dramatic critique of reason; Habermas, on the other hand, has consistently argued in defense of reason, modernity, and the legacy of the Enlightenment. Their many differences led to a long-standing, if scattered, dialogue, evidence of which has been available in only bits and pieces. But now, for the first time, The Derrida-Habermas Reader brings these pieces together, along with a collection of essays documenting the intellectual relationship between two of the twentieth century’s preeminent thinkers.

Editorial Review Product Description Habermas and Rawls are two heavyweights of social and political philosophy, and they are undoubtedly the two most written about (and widely read) authors in this field. However, there has not been much informed and interesting work on the points of intersection between their projects, partly because their work comes from different traditions—roughly the European tradition of social and political theory and the Anglo-American analytic tradition of political philosophy. In this volume, contributors re-examine the Habermas-Rawls dispute with an eye toward the ways in which the dispute can cast light on current controversies about political philosophy more broadly. Moreover, the volume will cover a number of other salient issues on which Habermas and Rawls have interesting and divergent views, such as the political role of religion and international justice. |
