In 'The New Conservatism', Jürgen Habermas presents an incisive analysis of political life in the Federal Republic of Germany during the 1980s, marked by the transition from Social Democratic to Conservative government. The essays explore the German problem of confronting the past, especially in the context of the historians' debate on the trivialization of the Nazi period. Habermas examines Martin Heidegger's involvement with Nazism and the rise of neoconservatism in Europe and America, offering a reflection on the challenges of the welfare state and contemporary utopian possibilities. This work, edited and translated by Shierry Weber Nicholsen, is an essential contribution to the series 'Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought'.
Jürgen Habermas was a German philosopher and social theorist in the tradition of critical theory and pragmatism. His work addressed communicative rationality and the public sphere. He held professorships at Heidelberg University and Goethe University Frankfurt and directed the Max Planck Institute in Starnberg.
