Synopsis "Jurgen Habermas on Society and Politics: A Reader "

Here for the first time are Habermas's most important writings on society, the state, and social theory collected in one volume. For more than three decades Habermas has consistently attempted to supply foundations for a reconstructed Marxist social theory that provides a critical analysis of modernity. He has defended the position that only if a general notion of reason can be invoked can we hope to sustain a democratic social order. This carefully edited volume includes selections from Habermas's earliest works through his most recent: essays on the aim of social science, the structure of a theory of action and society, the development of modern society, psychoanalysis, and the crisis of the welfare state.

Jürgen Habermas (Düsseldorf, 1929) is a German philosopher and sociologist, considered one of the most influential figures in contemporary critical theory and the main representative of the second generation of the Frankfurt School. His work spans political philosophy, ethics, legal theory, and philosophy of language. Among his most notable contributions are the theory of communicative action, discourse ethics, and the concept of deliberative democracy.

Among his most important works are The Theory of Communicative Action (1981), Between Facts and Norms (1992), and A History of Philosophy (2019). Habermas has been recognized with numerous international awards, such as the Prince of Asturias Award for Social Sciences (2003), the Kyoto Prize (2004), the Holberg Prize (2005), the Erasmus Prize (2013), and the Johan Skytte Prize in Political Science (2024).
