4.0 out of 5 starsAn excellent introduction
By A Customer on May 5, 2004
Format: Paperback
This is one of Habermas' simpler books. It marks a major turn in his thought, however. He no longer wishes to exclude questions of the "good life" (teleology) from judgements of justice (deontology). He sees that morality must be grounded in a "species ethic" (ie: a naturalist, religious or metaphysical anthropology). This is significant as his previous work betrayed the sceptical approach to modern liberalism maintained by his predecessors in the Frankfurt School (esp. Adorno & Horkheimer). He know longer holds fast to Dworkin-esque neutrality. Nonetheless he still places the priority on deontology, a fact that makes his claims more tangible than, say, Charles Taylor's. An insightful, well presented and simple read.

4.0 out of 5 starsNot overly complex
By Laurance P. Strait on December 30, 2007
Format: Paperback
Previous reviewers have complained that Habermas presents his ideas in a more complex way than necessary. I submit that those reviewers are correct that his ideas, as _they_ understand them, could have been presented more simply.

Habermas is writing to academics. Yes, you need to have some background knowledge to access his thought. If you think that he is being more complicated than necessary, you almost certainly just don't get it.
