Synopsis
Based on the new German edition of Philosophisch-politische Profile which has attracted serious and widespread attention, this book includes thirteen pieces written by Habermas between 1958 and 1978 - the most important of those in the German edition, plus additional articles.
In these essays, Habermas offers a clear and strikingly personal examination of major modern German philosophers and cultural critics, focusing particularly on the content of their thought in relation to their respective political and biographical contexts.
Contents: Does Philosophy Still Have a Purpose?; The German Influence (Heidegger); The Figures of Truth (Jaspers); Karl Löwith's Stoic Retreat from Historical Consciousness; A Marxist Schelling (Bloch); A Primal History of Subjectivity and Self-Affirmation Gone Wild (Adorno); Imitated Substantiality (Gehlen); Consciousness-raising or Rescuing Critique-On the Relevance of Walter Benjamin; Herbert Marcuse on Art and Revolution; Hannah Arendt's Concept of Power; The Hidden Torah (Gershom Scholem); Urbanizing the Heideggerian Province-In Praise of Hans-Georg Gadamer.
Philosophical-Political Profiles is included in the series, Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought.

"William E. Connolly is Krieger-Eisenhower Professor in the political science department at Hopkins where he teaches political theory. His early book, The Terms of Political Discourse, was awarded the Benjamin Lippincott Award in 1999 as 'a work of exceptional quality that is still considered significant at least 15 years after publication.' In a poll of American political theorists published in PS in 2010, he was ranked the fourth most influential political theorist in America over the last twenty years, after Rawls, Habermas, and Foucault. His work focuses on the issues of democratic pluralism, capitalism, inequality, fascism, and bumpy intersections between capitalism and planetary amplifiers in climate change." - Johns Hopkins University.
