J. Habermas. Postmetaphysical Thinking (Studies in Contemporary German Social
Thought), The MIT Press, (February 1994)
Abstract
This collection of Habermas's recent, essays on philosophical topics
continues the analysis begun in The Philosophical Discourse
of Modernity. In a short introductory essay, he outlines the sources
of twentieth-century philosophizing, its major themes, and the range
of current debates. The remainder of the essays can be seen as his
contribution to these debates.\\ Habermas's essay on George Herbert
Mead is a focal point of the book. In it he sketches a postmetaphysical,
intersubjective approach to questions of individuation and subjectivity.
In other essays, he develops his distinctive, communications-theoretic
approach to questions of meaning and validity. The book as a whole
expands on his earlier efforts to define a middle ground between
nostalgic revivals of metaphysical conceptions of reason and radical
deconstructions of reason.
