5.0 out of 5 stars
The best short introduction to Habermas' work,
By
This review is from: Habermas's Critical Theory of Society (Suny Series in the Philosophy of the Social Sciences) (Paperback)
Habermas' vitally important theoretical work is sometimes considered forbidding or unapproachable to read, and can indeed be rough going for those without grounding in the history of philosophy and social theory, even though the ideas themselves are clear, logical, and graspable. Braaten's book is the best short introduction to his core ideas, and includes applications of them to some current public and social issues. It will be of great help to anyone wanting an entry point into the ideas of one of this century's greatest thinkers, and will make it possible for her/him to then read Habermas' work directly. With this book Braaten has made a wonderful contribution to contemporary intellectual life.
