Examines issues in legal and democratic theory found in the work of Jürgen Habermas.
Discourse and Democracy offers a variety of perspectives by an international group of scholars on Jürgen Habermas’s Between Facts and Norms. The collection presents not just a summary of Habermas’s own views, but locates him with respect to modern and contemporary moral, political, and legal theory. The result is a volume useful to those first approaching Habermas’s thought as well as those already familiar with its general outlines.
