Review Quotes:
"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: Jürgen Habermas and the Politics of Discourse
