Reviews

Advance praise: 'A recent biography referred to Habermas as the most famous living philosopher in the world. But he is also one of the most poorly comprehended. That makes the appearance of this volume a real occasion for enthusiasm. Allen and Mendieta have assembled a remarkably strong group of scholars who provide the reader with a reliable guide to Habermas' central concepts and intellectual trajectory. This is a real gem of scholarship.' Stephen K. White, University of Virginia
