For more than half a century, Habermas has shaped both academic and public debates, serving as an admonishing voice of reason and the moral conscience of post-Holocaust German society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFelsch, a cultural historian, reflects on whether Habermas's intellectual supremacy is ending or whether his ideas are gaining new relevance in our current times of crisis. To explore this question, Felsch delves into Habermas's extensive work and personally visits him to discuss the motivations, influences, and controversies throughout his career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book examines whether the ideas championed by Habermas—universalism, reason, and dialogue—can assist us in confronting the challenges of the twenty-first century. This compelling account of a distinctive thinker also serves as a portrait of an epoch marked by Habermas's influence and provides a glimpse into a future shaped by his ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871566680300,"sku":"9781509567690","price":47.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12699153482725.jpg?v=1759884174","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-philosopher-by-philipp-felsch-9781509567690","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
