The Divided West

The Divided West by Habermas

Make no mistake, the normative authority of the United States of America lies in ruins. Such is the judgment of the most influential thinker in Europe today reflecting on the political repercussions of the war in Iraq.

“For anyone interested in contemporary intellectual efforts to imagine a more peaceful and equitable world order, The Divided West is a must-read”
International Studies Review

“Ever since the end of the cold war, Habermas has been trying to define an alternative vision of a new world order. In this collection, he presents that vision in its most accessible and passionate form.”
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research

“A useful introduction to Habermas's practical philosophy in the context of some of the most pressing issues of our age.”
Anthony J. Carroll, Heythrop Journal

“No-one articulates the 'European' ideal with greater intellectual clarity, philosophical acumen and humanist fervour than Jürgen Habermas. In this collection of essays and interviews, provocatively entitled The Divided West, Habermas makes a very candid criticism of the current US preoccupation with power.”
S Parvez Manzoor, Muslim World Book Review

“This book is an indispensable guide to anyone seriously interested in how to think about the complex question of terrorism. It exposes subtle and blatant biases that characterize much contemporary discussion of the subject and offers a judicious and closely argued response to terrorism: ultimately the only realistic one.”
Lord Bhikhu Parekh, University of Westminster

Jürgen Habermas is Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at the University of Frankfurt.
