This new collection of essays by Habermas addresses some of the most pressing social and political issues of our time. What does it mean to move from the common market to a Europe with a political constitution, from the politics of power to a society of citizens of the world? Habermas brings his insight and his distinctive theoretical approach to bear on these and other key questions of the modern age. His analyses are informed by his dynamic conception of democratic constitutions, his account of symbolic forms of expression and his understanding of the religious roots of modern consciousness.
