Synopsis

This book provides a critical analysis of the debate between modernists and postmodernists through an analysis of the work of Jurgen Habermas, focusing on the role that he has played in this debate. The author offers an alternative to the dichotomy between modernism and postmodernism by developing the conception of "the aftermath of modernity" which takes seriously postmodern critiques of modernism while keeping intact certain key enlightenment ideals.
