- This important new study shows that Habermas's work on aesthetics is central to understanding and evaluating his entire theoretical enterprise.
- Duvenage demonstrates that, in the first phase of his intellectual career, Habermas emphasizes the communicative and societal relevance of art; in the second phase, the idea of a communicative aesthetics is worked out in terms of a theory of rationality.
- Reveals that Habermas's later work offers a third, albeit undeveloped, alternative that suggests a convergence of the two.
- Offers a critical perspective on the role of aesthetics in Habermas's work and proposes possible alternatives.
