In the LR podcast, Rüdiger Suchsland talks to Berlin philosopher Philipp Felsch about Felsch's new book: "Der Philosoph. Habermas and us".

Philipp Felsch | The Philosopher. Habermas und wir | Ullstein Verlag | 256 pages | 24 EUR

In the interview, both talk about the thought process of Jürgen Habermas, born in 1929, the most important living German philosopher and "Hegel of the Federal Republic". The main focus is on Habermas as a "public intellectual" from the 1970s to the present day, with Habermas' latest statements on the war in Ukraine, and the question of what will remain of Habermas' work - particularly with regard to its impact outside Europe, for the civil rights movements and for the left.
