Summary: I didn't want to review this.... but.....
Comment: The reviews for this book are really poor, so I'm going to take a shot at this book....

Habermas in this book is very German. The book is straightforward: it deals with the dual nature of laws.... i.e. that the ideals we establish in laws are conditioned by a sociological process and then interpreted through the same process. It's not a book that one would read for pleasure... it's not a book that one would want to have around to please girls. It's dry at times, but CAN BE very rewarding. Please, dear God, do not let this be an introduction to philosophy. But-- as the reviews above hint at-- it is an important work by an important author if taken in the right light and for the right reasons.

I do not intend here to write a review of Habermas: that's way beyond what needs to be done in this situation. He's not a whole lot of fun though.... ;)... but a brilliant man, nonetheless....

Summary: THE Social theorist of our time!
Comment: Habermas, using his unbelievable talent in synthesizing various paths of thought and theory, continues to amaze the reader in Between Facts and Norms. Habermas again probes the roots of modernity in his analysis of democracy, politics and communication. Highly recommended!

Summary: Interesting ideas
Comment: From the father of Communicative Action Theory, this book discusses law and politics, exploring how these two interact in the modern idea of a democracy.
