The Philosophy of Habermas

by Andrew Edgar

Overview

Edgar's (philosophy, Cardiff U.) objective is to prepare readers to take on the works of German philosopher Jürgen Habermas, which he admits are complex and on first reading obscure. He sketches his arguments in some detail, explains how he weaves together multiple strands of thought, and places the work within the context of the history of German philosophy and contemporary debates in continental and analytical philosophy.
