Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philos Habermas and Rawls: Disputing the Political, Book 23, (Hardcover)

There has not been much informed and interesting work on the points of intersection between Habermas and Rawls, partly because their work comes from different traditions-roughly the European tradition of social and political theory and the Anglo-American analytic tradition of political philosophy. In this volume, contributors re-examine the Habermas-Rawls dispute with an eye toward the ways in which the dispute can cast light on current controversies about political philosophy more broadly. Moreover, the volume will cover a number of other salient issues on which Habermas and Rawls have interesting and divergent views, such as the political role of religion and international justice.
