Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This first volume of Jürgen Habermas's innovative work on the history of philosophy presents a systematic account of Western philosophy as a genealogy of postmetaphysical thinking. Habermas goes beyond merely affirming the relevance of philosophical reflection based on communicative reason in the modern world. He contrasts this view with critiques of Enlightenment reason and culture that seek redemption through traditional religious authority, the timelessness of Greek metaphysics, a numinous view of nature, and pre-Socratic thought. He situates Western philosophy alongside major worldviews such as Judaism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism, which continue to influence contemporary culture. Additionally, he lays the foundation for his analysis in subsequent volumes by exploring the discourse on faith and knowledge, shaped by the unique interplay between Christianity and Greek thought during the Christianization of the Roman Empire. Rather than claiming exclusivity or completeness, Habermas's history of philosophy, published in three volumes, opens new avenues for research and reflection, poised to impact the humanities and social sciences for years to come.
