«En la espiral de la tecnocracia», final volume of Jürgen Habermas's Short Political Writings, published by Trotta in 2016, is a collection of essays in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
In this final instalment of his political writings, Habermas analyses the power of technocratic elites in European politics and outlines a discursive theory of the democratic constitutional state. The first part, «Judíos alemanes, alemanes y judíos», brings together personal memories of the generation of Jewish emigrants who returned to Germany after the Second World War and includes essays dedicated to Martin Buber and Heinrich Heine. The Spanish edition adds an interview conducted after the Brexit referendum in which the author advocates a transnationalisation of democracy.
The book belongs to the Estructuras y procesos. Filosofía collection and includes an interview given by Habermas shortly after the Brexit referendum.
Recommended for readers interested in political philosophy and the debate on the future of European integration.
