書籍簡介

在最近的新文集中，哈貝馬斯採取並追求了從現代性哲學話語開始的分析路線。他首先概述了20世紀哲學的來源和中心主題，以及當前爭論的範圍。然後，他檢視了對這些爭論的一些關鍵貢獻，從米德、佩里斯和羅蒂的實用主義哲學到福柯的後結構主義。

與大多數當代思想家一樣，哈貝馬斯對西方形而上學傳統及其對理性的誇大概念持批判態度。但他警告人們不要完全放棄這一概念。與西方哲學的激進批評者相反，哈貝馬斯認為，後形而上學思維只有在保留理性理念的同時，剝去它的形而上學外衣，才能保持批判性。哈貝馬斯通過進一步發展他對意義、理性和主體性問題的獨特方法來完成這一任務。

這本書對哲學、社會學、社會和政治理論特別有興趣的學生，以及對任何對哈貝馬斯的計劃的持續發展感興趣的人都是必要的閲讀。

In this new collection of recent essays, Habermas takes up and pursues the line of analysis begun in The Philosophical Discourse of Modernity. He begins by outlining the sources and central themes of twentieth-century philosophy, and the range of current debates. He then examines a number of key contributions to these debates, from the pragmatic philosophies of Mead, Perice and Rorty to the post-structuralism of Foucault.

Like most contemporary thinkers, Habermas is critical of the Western metaphysical tradition and its exaggerated conception of reason. But he cautions against the temptation to relinquish this conception altogether. In opposition to the radical critics of Western philosophy, Habermas argues that postmetaphysical thinking can remain critical only if it preserves the idea of reason while stripping it of its metaphysical trappings. Habermas contributes to this task by developing further his distinctive approach to problems of meaning, rationality and subjectivity.

This book will be of particular interest to students of philosophy, sociology and social and political theory, and it will be essential reading for anyone interested in the continuing development of Habermas's project.
