Emeritus Professor & Presenter @ ProfessorMe.com
1yVery interesting review of a book I too enjoyed recently (and good of Mind to go with a review of a 2019 book; too many journals mindlessly refuse a book a few years old). I would only add that Jurgen Habermas would say that the disjunction between philosophy and history is itself an error: "In studies that deal with the role of the political public sphere in constitutional democracies, we generally make a distinction between empirical investigations and normative theories. John Rawls, for example, speaks in this connection of ‘ideal theory’. I think that this alternative is oversimplified. In my view, the role of democratic theory is to reconstruct the rational content of the norms and practices that have acquired positive validity since the constitutional revolutions of the late 18th century and, as such, have become part of historical reality." (Reflections and Hypotheses on a Further Structural Transformation of the Political Public Sphere, 2022)
