Like no other philosopher, Jürgen Habermas left his mark on the intellectual and political debates of postwar Germany. But do the crises that we are experiencing today make his work obsolete? In his new book, the German intellectual historian Philipp Felsch offers an incisive portrait of the philosopher from both a personal and generational perspective. The result is an intriguing account not only of this preeminent thinker but also of the epoch that he so decisively shaped.
Join us for a conversation with Philipp Felsch (Humboldt Universität zu Berlin/ Rutgers University) and Professor Jan-Werner Müller (Politics) as they discuss Habermas’s career and legacy in light of the upcoming English translation of the book.
