American Political Science Review
Useful because of its clear and penetrating discussions of the central philosophical tensions and shifts that have emerged from Hegel to Habermas. . . . this book really distinguishes itself in its incisive discussions of the nature of action and of ways to make communicative ethics more defensible. . . Benhabib gives anyone interested in communicative ethics and politics fresh ideas on how, with Habermas, we can think beyond the philosophy of the subject.
