Overview

Discourse and Democracy offers a variety of perspectives by an international group of scholars on Jurgen Habermas's Between Facts and Norms. The collection presents not just a summary of Habermas's own views, but locates him with respect to modern and contemporary moral, political, and legal theory. The result is a volume useful to those first approaching Habermas's thought as well as those already familiar with its general outlines.

Reviews

These essays enter deeply into Habermas's recent work, examine its demanding range of issues comprehensively, largely root his recent work in the theory of communicative action developed in the early years of the 1980s, and consistently engage Habermas at the highest level. In addition, the essays clarify many features of Habermas's work during the past twenty years that still remain obscure to even his most conscientious readers. - Morton Schoolman, author of Reason and Horror: Critical Theory, Democracy, and Aesthetic Individuality A very helpful guide in negotiating the intricacies of Habermasian political philosophy. - Simone Chambers, author of Reasonable Democracy: Jurgen Habermas and the Politics of Discourse
