The Philosophical Discourse of Modernity is a tour de force that has the
immediacy and accessibility of the lecture form and the excitement of an encounter
across, national cultural boundaries. Habermas takes up the challenge posed by the
radical critique of reason in contemporary French poststructuralism.Tracing the
odyssey of the philosophical discourse of modernity, Habermas's strategy is to
return to those historical "crossroads" at which Hegel and the Young Hegelians,
Nietzsche and Heidegger made the fateful decisions that led to this outcome. His aim
is to identify and clearly mark out a road indicated but not taken: the determinate
negation of subject-centered reason through the concept of communicative
rationality. As The Theory of Communicative Action served to place this concept
within the history of social theory, these lectures locate it within the history of
philosophy. Habermas examines the odyssey of the philosophical discourse of
modernity from Hegel through the present and tests his own ideas about the
appropriate form of a postmodern discourse through dialogs with a broad range of
past and present critics and theorists.The lectures on Georges Bataille, Michel
Foucault, Jacques Derrida, and Cornelius Castoriadis are of particular note since
they are the first fruits of the recent cross-fertilization between French and
German thought. Habermas's dialogue with Foucault - begun in person as the first of
these lectures were delivered in Paris in 1983 culminates here in two appreciative
yet intensely argumentative lectures. His discussion of the literary-theoretical
reception of Derrida in America - launched at Cornell in 1984 - issues here in a
long excursus on the genre distinction between philosophy and literature. The
lectures were reworked for the final time in seminars at Boston College and first
published in Germany in the fall of 1985.Jürgen Habermas is Professor of Philosophy
at the University of Frankfurt. The Philosophical Discourse of Modernity is included
in the series Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought, edited by Thomas
McCarthy.
