Title: Habermas, modernity, and law
Description: "The work of Jurgen Habermas has long been regarded as central to the development of social and political theory and philosophy in the late twentieth century. With the publication of his latest book, Between Facts and Norms, Habermas has signalled the importance of exploring modern legal theory to our understanding of democratic society." "Habermas, Modernity and Law brings together leading scholars from around the world to provide a clear introduction to this key development in Habermas' work. With chapters ranging from the possibility of valid law to discourse ethics and human rights, the authors successfully integrate a broad range of Habermas' writings with his most recent thoughts on the place of the law in contemporary theory. Habermas himself contributes a postscript to Between Facts and Norms, providing a fascinating overview of his current thinking."--BOOK JACKET.
