| Publisher Description: Drawing freely and expertly from Continental and analytic traditions, Richard Bernstein examines a number of debates and controversies exemplified in the works of Gadamer, Habermas, Rorty, and Arendt. He argues that a new conversation is emerging about human rationality--a new understanding that emphasizes its practical character and has important ramifications both for thought and action. |
