This supplements my Habermas studies project. Text below is the same as mid-2018,
except that I’ve revised the “archives of discussion” section, re: Yahoo! Group.
(It’s accessible to non-subscribers.)
- “Critique and Communication: philosophy’s missions / a conversation with Jürgen Habermas” and a discussion of this interview by me.
- 2014 interview: “Internet & the public sphere” and discussion of this interview
- A basic idea: reason for democracy relative to 3-fold thinking.
- Review of Jürgen Habermas: Key Concepts, 2011. My discussion of this review is an occasion to make some general comments about Habermas’s work.
- Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy general essay on his career and work.
- J. Habermas, Philosophical Introductions: five approaches to communcative reason, 2018: Habermas’s own late-life (2009) introduction to his work.
- Habermas: Introduction and Analysis, by David Ingram, 2010 |
- The Habermas Handbook, 2017, edited by Hauke Brunkhorst et al.: authoritative recent essays on Habermas’s topics of inquiry, central concepts, and major works.
- Habermas as philosopher: my selection of philosophically primary essays.
None of the listed Habermas essays there are overtly political.... But that’s a long story. Anyway, one should prefer to read primary sources; and use scholarship in supplement. (One should be so lucky as to have the time.)
- Some classic and exemplary scholarship on Habermas’ work may be available in your university library: Habermas II, 4 vol. set (2010, exemplary) and the earlier Habermas I, 4 vol. set (2002, classic).
- Postmetaphysical Thinking II
- Oxford Handbook of Qualitative Research
- Habermas and Religion
- symposium on the constitutionalization of international law
- “America and the world”: a 2004 conversation between Habermas and Eduardo Mendieta
- Habermas article, March 2017, on need for greater German leadership in the EU and comment by Habermas on this reported in the Irish Times. Also, here is an August 2013 article by Habermas (in English) on Germany’s stance toward the EU economy at that time—which apparently hasn’t changed much.
- Habermas advocates for a strong Europe, February 2014; and gets due press coverage by the Irish.
- letter by EU President Donald Tusk on EU solidarity and comment by me.
- The European Project for Democratic Union seeks to make the EU strong through educational and organizational leadership.
- Brexit and the EU: Habermas article, July 2016
- on right-wing populism in the EU: Habermas article, November 2016
- After the 2015 Paris terrorist attack: Habermas article, November 2015
- Democracy or capitalism?: Habermas article, July 2013
- trans-nationalization of democracy: Habermas lecture at Princeton, May 2014,
1 hr: 30 mins
- “Trans-National Democratic Innovation in the European Union”: essay by Graham Smith, 2013, on democratic modeling
- Habermas recalls Jewish influences on his intellectual development
- note of a new Habermas biography and comment by me
- Habermas and “our evolving” blog
This page about the blog relates it to Habermasian interests. The blog, begun in 2010, inherited postings from other blogs prior to 2010, then explores how to work beyond his work while staying accurately appreciative of his ongoing work.
- Yahoo! Group: 2002-2014 (more or less)
There are presently hundreds of substantive postings, but posting requires membership (free access to postings, but a Yahoo! “account” is needed for posting), unfortunately. That was not the case originally. Anyone could post,
while member email addresses were hidden. The grid of postings by month and year isn’t very helpful (no posting titles; just number of postings per month). The group was very active, 2004—2010-or-so; then became largely postings by me, 2010—2014.
I suggest that my Google Groups Habermas address would an excellent alternative to develop because the formatting options are better, and postings can be edited after posting.
But the Messages are available by number at the Yahoo! site (“Conversations” ⇒ “Messages”). One can link to specific messages. (For example, “Discourse Theory and International Law.”) So, useful material can be brought into discussions elsewhere.
- Spoon Collective “Habermas” archives: 1996-2004
Amid all the ephemera there, gems of extended exchanges can be found. I have much to say about that. (My participation began Aug. 1997 through list closure by the list owner in 2004). My “Habermas and Truth” series is based on long discussions there, end of September, 2003, through the beginning of October, 2003. Here, by the way, is a short history of the Spoon Collective, which was a pioneering project in the early days of the Internet.
There is so much life in the blogosphere! But what’s directly relevant to understanding Habermas philosophically? I look forward to more sharing. But I’m very involved with work after Habermas. I would gladly get into scholarly discussion of Habermas’s work, if others who are intensively involved would like that. Let me know.
