Features: One of the biggest features of this book is that the master explains his profound thoughts in plain and easy-to-understand language. After its publication, it immediately attracted widespread attention from the international academic community and sparked discussions. Today, it undoubtedly still holds great practical significance. Especially after the "9·11" terrorist attacks and the Afghanistan War (this war had many similarities to the Gulf War of that time), people have expressed deep concerns about the current world situation and its future development, engaging in serious reflections. Many of Habermas's insights can provide us with new references and inspirations. Jürgen Habermas's theories cover fields such as philosophy, sociology, political science, psychology, moral and legal theory, and cultural theory. He is hailed as the leader of the second generation of the Frankfurt School and a leading figure in Western humanities and social sciences.
