Paul Healy

Opis

Engaging critically with the work of Habermas, Gadamer and Foucault, Healy makes the case for a dialogical approach to rationality as a fitting response to postfoundationalist needs. As well as advancing existing scholarship on these theorists, he contributes to filling a significant lacuna in the literature on rationality.
