Sommario/riassunto

The essays in this book engage with the broad range of Jürgen Habermas' work including politics and the public sphere, nature,



aesthetics, the linguistic turn and the paradigm of intersubjectivity. Each essay responds to particular difficulties with Habermas' approach to these topics. Each contributor also draws on different theoretical and philosophical traditions in order to explore recent developments in critical theory.
