Features: Habermas, known as the "leading figure in Western academia," is undoubtedly one of the most important thinkers in the world today. However, due to the vastness of his writings and the breadth of his theories, comprehensive works that cover his life experiences and theoretical development are scarce. Based on extensive theoretical preparation, the author attempts for the first time to undertake this formidable task. The book takes a broad perspective, offering a concise yet insightful description of Habermas's life, theories, and their development. The "Interview with Habermas" in the appendix was recorded during the translator's recent academic visit to Germany, when they directly spoke with Habermas. It provides insights into the newest developments in Habermas's thoughts and theoretical propositions.
