Omschrijving

Simon Susen's trilogy offers a systematic account of Jürgen Habermas's Also a History of Philosophy. It provides a comprehensive overview of the central issues at stake in this magnum opus and, crucially, assesses its most significant limitations and shortcomings.

Susen shows how Habermas's approach to the history of philosophy seeks to reconstruct the genealogy of postmetaphysical thinking by tracing the tension-laden relationship between faith and knowledge back to the major developments brought about during the Axial Age. The trilogy examines how Habermas's latest project invites us to reconsider not only classical antinomies - such as faith vs. knowledge, the sacred vs. the profane, religion vs. science - but also the role of philosophy in the twenty-first century, particularly with regard to its capacity to overcome the tension between 'ideologization' [Verweltanschaulichung] and 'scientization' [Verwissenschaftlichung]. This endeavour, Susen argues, sheds light on the extent to which the emancipatory potential of rational freedom, far from being reducible to a mere product of the Enlightenment, has been present throughout human history - most notably in the processes of 'the linguistification of the sacred' in advanced civilizations during the first millennium BCE. Informed by a meticulous analysis of the Epilogue to the original German-language edition - which contains valuable insights into Habermas's retrospective reflections on his main arguments and engages with the reception of his ambitious theoretical enterprise - this definitive trilogy serves as an essential guide to one of Habermas's seminal works.

The second volume, The Consolidation of Postmetaphysical Thinking, explores the dimensions that are particularly important to Habermas's project of developing a genealogy of postmetaphysical thinking.

This trilogy is for all those in the social sciences and humanities studying and researching classical and contemporary social theory, the sociology of knowledge, the sociology of religion, political sociology, cultural sociology, social and political philosophy, epistemology, the philosophy of religion, the philosophy of history, the philosophy of language, and the history of social and political thought.
