AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"Ultimately, I think, what holds together Habermas's position as both defender and radical critic of democracy is his historical optimism. Sharply though he takes the limitations of existing institutions to task, and vehement though his polemics may be against those from Heidegger and Carl Schmitt to Peter Sloterdijk whose ideas he considers to be hostile to reason and democracy, Habermas is no Jeremiah. (The contrast with Adorno could not be more marked). The commitment to a more adequate form of common life is implicit in the very foundations of our discursive practices, he believes, and, with time, rationality will lead us to reach out towards it."Habermas, Jürgen is the author of 'Inclusion of the Other Studies in Political Theory', published 2000 under ISBN 9780262581868 and ISBN 0262581868.
