Excerpt: /360/ Reading Club: Legitimacy (III)
from Bungacast · host Bungacast
On the 3rd and final part of Jurgen Habermas' Legitimation Crisis. [Patreon Tier II & III Exclusive] We wrap up this challenging book by debating some key points. Habermas already felt we lived in a post-truth society. How does his notion differ from the contemporary one concerned with misinformation? And is it possible to get beyond the notion of political authority grounded in (arbitrary) rules and laws – to an order rooted in truth and meaning? Habermas also discusses his Frankfurt School colleagues and 'the end of the individual'. What does this mean? Is there any hope for free, rational, democratic politics? Reading: Legitimation Crisis, Jurgen Habermas The Return of the Repressed, Wolfgang Streeck, NLR 104, March–April 2017
