aesthetics is central to understanding and evaluating his entire
theoretical enterprise.
- Duvenage demonstrates that, in the first phase of his
intellectual career, Habermas emphasizes the communicative and
societal relevance of art; in the second phase, the idea of a
communicative aesthetics is worked out in terms of a theory of
rationality.
- Reveals that Habermas’s later work offers a third, albeit
undeveloped, alternative that suggests a convergence of the
two.
- Offers a critical perspective on the role of aesthetics in Habermas's work and proposes possible alternatives.
