Globalization is more than an economic or geopolitical matter; it is above all a new (political) culture and, as such, it requires philosophical inquiry to determine if it represents a 20th century revolution in thinking not unlike the Kantian Revolution represented to the 18th century.

With Habermas having developed his oeuvre substantially in the last decade, this new edition retains the key secondary literature while refreshing the critical canon with the most important papers published since the First Edition in 2001. The editors, themselves a part of that canon, have updated the editorial material to reflect the latest hot topics in...
