| Summary |
"Theodor W. Adorno and Jurgen Habermas champion the goal of a rational society on the basis of many shared premisses. Yet they not only disagree about prevailing social conditions, they have profoundly different views about what a rational society should look like and how best to achieve it. This book defends Adorno against the influential criticisms that Habermas levels against both his account of existing conditions and prospects for achieving reasonable conditions of life." "Adorno, Habermas, and the Search for a Rational Society will be essential reading for students and researchers for critical theory, political and social theory, and the work of Adorno and Habermas."--BOOK JACKET |
