Book Summary
This important new volume brings together J?rgen Habermas's key writingson religion and religious belief. In these essays, Habermas explores the relationsbetween Christian and Jewish thought, on one hand, and the Western philosophicaltradition on the other. He often approaches these issues through critical encounterswith the work of others, including Walter Benjamin, Martin Heidegger, Johann BaptistMetz, and Gershom Scholem.In an introduction written especially for this volume, Eduardo Mendieta places Habermas's engagement with religion in the context of hiswork as a whole. Mendieta also discusses Habermas's writings in relation to JewishMessianism and the Frankfurt School, showing how these essays reflect an importantyet often neglected dimension of critical theory. The volume concludes with anoriginal extended interview that examines Habermas's current views on religion andmodern society.
