В руках посредственного таланта профили часто бывают плоскими, двумерными очертаниями интеллектуальной физиономии мыслителя. А в руках мастера, подобного Юргену Хабермасу, они могут превратиться в нечто гораздо более существенное и глубокое. С поразительной экономностью Хабермас набрасывает свои впечатления о гигантах недавней немецкой мысли, многие из которых были его личными наставниками. Для тех читателей, которые привыкли к требовательному абстрактному уровню его теоретических работ, результаты окажутся приятным сюрпризом. Не жертвуя никакой строгостью и блеском тех более длинных исследований, он демонстрирует поразительную способность сочетать глубину с краткостью. "Философско-политические профили" не только добавляют новое измерение нашему пониманию интеллектуальной одиссеи ведущ
At the hands of an undiscovered writer, philosophical-political profiles are two-dimensional sketches of brilliant thoughts. At the hand of a genius like J. Habermas they can develop into something more authentic, more essential. Using just three words on this portrait of some great German minds, who were also his personal teachers, the author manages to dismiss them with economical strokes. These запрещено adieu prove to be a shattering accordance for admirers of Habermas’s most abstract theoretical work. Far from sacrificing one of the metaphysical or epistemological tenets of their works, I was gifted with a remarkable abilty to mix deep abstractions with astounding conciseness. "Philosophical political profiles", invite all philosophical minded readers to re-evaluate the way we perceive the intellectual landscapes of Germany, and more importantly, it offers a glimpse at someone’s world view who preceded Habermas in formulating profound ways of thinking. Furthermore, it's an amazing survey of some major themes on contemporary times.

Описание книги от Jurgen Habermas
At the hands of a minor talent, profiles are often flat, two-dimensional outlines of a thinker’s intellectual physiognomy. At the hands of a master like Jürgen Habermas, they can become something far more substantial and profound. With astonishing economy, Habermas sketches his impressions of the giants of recent German thought, several of whom were his personal mentors. For those of his readers accustomed to the demandingly abstract level of his theoretical work, the results will prove a welcome surprise. Without sacrificing any of the rigor and brilliance of those longer studies, he displays a remarkable ability to combine depth with brevity. Philosophical-Political Profiles not only adds a new dimension to our understanding of the intellectual odyssey of Germany’s leading contemporary thinker but also provides a series of stunning insights into the thought of the generation that preceded him. Martin Jay, University of California, Berkley «With enormous sensitivity, judiciousness, and critical insight, Habermas engages in dialogue with many of the leading German-trained intellectuals of our time-including Heidegger, Jaspers, Löwith, Bloch, Adorno, Benjamin, Marcuse, Arendt, Gadamer, Scholem, and others. These essays range over the most central and vital issues of contemporary life. Whether dealing with Jewish mysticism or critiques of modernity, Habermas is always illuminating and incisive. These essays can serve as an excellent introduction to his thinking. They also help to situate his theoretical work by revealing his deepest concerns.» Richard Bernstein, The New School for Social Research
