Ah, Europe. Small Political Essays, XI

"Ah, europe!" In 1987, Hans Magnus Enzensberger could still provide his "travel notes" an optimistic exclamation mark. 20 years later, the pan-European political optimism was divered. The problems of the United Europe are now occupied by one of the main places in the works of the largest German philosopher and sociologist. Along with this, the collection includes two texts about ongoing changes in the public sector: Speech in support of the high-quality nationwide press of Germany and talking about the creation of conditions that allow the widest layers of citizens to participate in the discussion of the most important problems of society and influence the relevant decisions (about "epistemic measurement of modern Democracy ") - speech that attracted great attention to himself. Finally, the reader will find here shiny essays on the prominent contemporaries of the author (R. Rorty, J. Derrida, R. Dvorkin, V. Abandroidrot), demonstrating the highest professionalism and huge erudition of Habermas.
