Reviews

Known for his somewhat dry and juridical appeals to a kind of permanent Kantian Law, Jurgen Habermas - the central intellectual of the EU's German center - arises here in a very different light. This timely study reveals instead an urgently popular thinker concerned with simple dignity and fellow-feeling, berating his troubled homeland as a self-absorbed colossus as Europe teeters on the brink. This book gives cosmopolitanism a new life at the very moment of its threatened extinction . - Timothy A. Brennan, University of Minnesota
