Habermas and the Transformations of Critical Theory: Faces of Critique
This book brings together an exceptional group of renowned scholars in philosophy and sociology, offering deep and insightful engagements with Jürgen Habermas's thought. With contributions from some of the most prominent figures in contemporary social theory, the volume delivers authoritative analyses that highlight Habermas's enduring influence on critical discourse. The essays examine key dimensions of Habermas's work, from his genealogy of moral reasoning and critiques of postmetaphysical ethics to his dialogues with intellectual giants like Marx, Mead, Husserl, and Rawls. Contributors interrogate his theories of communicative action, democratic statehood, and ideology critique, applying them to urgent contemporary challenges--including the rise of authoritarian populism and transformations in the digital public sphere.
This volume not only deepens our understanding of Habermas's legacy but also reaffirms his relevance for contemporary debates on modernity, democracy, and rationality. With contributions from the most respected voices in the field, this volume is a vital publication--one that promises to inspire and shape scholarly discourse across philosophy, sociology, and political theory.
