This important new volume brings together Habermas’ key writing on
religion and religious belief. Habermas explores the relations
between Christian and Jewish thought, on the one hand, and the
Western philosophical tradition on the other. In so doing, he
examines a range of important figures, including Benjamin,
Heidegger, Johann Baptist Metz and Gershom Scholem.
In a new introduction written especially for this volume,
Eduardo Mendieta places Habermas’ engagement with religion in the
context of his work as a whole. Mendieta also discusses Habermas’
writings in relation to Jewish Messianism and the Frankfurt School,
showing how the essays in Religion and Rationality, one of
which is translated into English for the first time, foreground an
important, yet often neglected, dimension of critical theory. The
volume concludes with an original extended interview, also in
English for the first time, in which Habermas develops his current
views on religion in modern society.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in
theology, religious studies and philosophy, as well as to all those
already familiar with Habermas’ work.
