The Postnational Constellation - Political Essays Political Essays

Jürgen Habermas has been awarded the prestigious Friedenspreis des deutschen Buchhandels prize for 2001

The Reader gains a firm appreciation of how Habermas s social theory applies to political realities ... These new books by Habermas will be indispensable for years to come [and will] undoubtedly make provocative reading. Anthony Elliott, The Australian

Habermas is that rare mixture of respected scholar and public intellectual. [This book] is one of his most accessible to date ... [it] is an impressive collection of essays on political issues of the day ... More generally, the book contains the thoughts of a great European intellectual of the Left who has not lost his nerve. And for this alone it is worth the money. After the debate in Northern Ireland and the general lack of understanding in some circles, our political class could use a few copies. Fortnight
