"The World Still Needs Habermas"

---

Below is a link to an aticle today in Foreign Policy magazine; and a PDF version of it.

online article: “The World Still Needs Habermas” | PDF of the article.

Facebook software won't take the above links. I had to make this posting.

Here is the Facebook posting text:
The philosopher as 20th century public intellectual
in winds of history

The article, by a well-known scholar of Habermas's political career, overviews Habermas’s legacy as advocate for collaborative politics relative to a recent book on that aspect of Habermas’s life.

“Beyond a general commitment to dialogue and cooperation," Müller notes, "his political vision entails an evolution beyond inherited ideas of ethnic nationalism and toward a cosmopolitan international legal order, each aspect of which is now increasingly under threat."

Some related Habermasian discussions I did a decade ago are here: “transnationalism.” (The font size on the page is too small, but the discussion texts are not.)
