| Opplysninger | ""This new work by Jürgen Habermas is also a history of philosophy. It presents, in the style of a genealogy, how the now dominant figures of Western postmetaphysical thinking arose. Habermas takes as his guide the discourse on faith and knowledge that developed out of two powerful Axial Age traditions in the Roman Empire. He traces how Western philosophy successively liberated itself from its symbiosis with religion and became secularized. From a systematic perspective, he elaborates the decisive conflicts, learning processes and caesuras, as well as the accompanying transformations in science, law, politics and society. But Habermas's new book is not just a history of philosophy: it is also a reflection on the task of a philosophy committed to the reasonable freedom of communicatively socialized subjects. The task of philosophy, he argues, is to clarify what our growing scientific knowledge of the world means for us - for us as human beings, as inhabitants of the modern world and as individuals. Published in English in three volumes, this major new work by one of the world's leading thinkers will appeal to anyone interested in philosophy and its contemporary relevance.""--. - info:sid/primo.exlibrisgroup.com-BIBSYS_ILS
