TAGESSPIEGEL ARTICLE ON HABERMAS

Read the critical essay from Norbert Bolz in yesterday's Tagesspiegel, titled "Der Bundesphilosoph." The article is a bit odd: it's an attempt to discuss the significance of Habermas for the SPD / Green coalition now that it is in power. Along the way you get short descriptions of Bolz's understanding of some of Habermas's main lines of thought, as well as a brief, critical take on Habermas's particular approaches to German fascism and to the promises of modernity. Worth a look, at any rate.
