This collection investigates the intellectual intersections and tensions between the critical theory of Jürgen Habermas and the tradition of American pragmatism. The editors, Catherine Kemp, Mitchell Aboulafia, and Myra Bookman, assemble a series of essays that examine how Habermas’s communicative action theory aligns with or diverges from the works of figures such as John Dewey, George Herbert Mead, and Charles Sanders Peirce. The volume provides a rigorous framework for evaluating the potential for a synthesis between European critical theory and the pragmatic tradition in addressing contemporary social and political problems.
What You Will Find
Scholars and students of political philosophy frequently identify this text as a significant resource for understanding the dialogue between continental and analytic traditions. Experts highlight the academic density of the prose, noting that it serves as a specialized reference for those already familiar with the foundational texts of both Habermas and the pragmatists.
