In this new collection of lectures and essays Jurgen Habermas engages with a wide range of figures in twentieth--century thought.

Habermas has described these essays as a fragments of a history of contemporary philosophya . The volume includes explorations of the work of Ernst Cassirer, Karl Jaspers and Gershom Scholem, as well as reponses to friends and colleagues such as Michael Thuenissen, Karl--Otto Apel and the writer and film--maker Alexander Kluge. It also includes pieces on the Finnish philosopher Georg Henrik von Wright and the theologian Johann Baptist Metz. This new volume will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Habermas and twentieth--century philosophy. |
