Description: This book provides a new understanding of Jürgen Habermas by focusing on his work as a public intellectual, showing how he has shaped debates far beyond the ivory tower.
Review Quotes: Verovsek's study of Habermas brings together philosophically rich and compelling theoretical analysis with engrossing biographical and historical details, touching on some of the most important political and social events of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Within the intense and sustained scrutiny of Habermas's work, Verovsek offers an entirely new and original perspective.--Simone Chambers, University of California, Irvine
