Author: Juergen Habermas

Condition: New

Some thirty years ago Jrgen Habermas introduced the idea of analyzing contemporary society from a historical and practical standpoint while remaining faithful to the canons of empirical science.

The five essays translated in this volume provide an overview of the research program that has finally emerged.
