About this title

Synopsis

These 13 essays by noted philosophers and social theorists continue a celebration and examination of Jurgen Habermas' unfinished project of reconstructing enlightenment rationality. Focusing on the cultural and political aspects of Habermas' work, the essays take up critical theory and political practice, historical-philosophical reflections on culture, moral development in childhood and society, and the foundations of critical social theory. Essays in a companion volume, "Philosophical Interventions in the Unfinished Project of Enlightenment", look at the metaphysical aspects of Habermas's work. Together, the two-volumes underscore the richness and variety of Habbermas' project. The contributors are: Johann P. Arnason; Andrew Arato; Seyla Benhabib; Hauke Brunkhorst; Cornelius Castoriadis; Jean Cohen; Helmut Dubiel; Klaus Elder; Gunter Frankenberg; Hans-Georg Gadamer; Axel Honneth; Johann Baptist Metz; Gertrud Nunner-Winkler; Claus Offe.
