Habermas’s intellectual roots were in the Frankfurt School, which at least in its origins was Marxist. But as Habermas’s thought developed, he moved further and further away from Marxism. His ideal speech situation was similar in many respects to John Rawls’s original position and Habermas admitted to being influenced by Rawls.
Habermas’s support for Israel and Zionism was not atypical for German intellectuals of his generation, nor was his willingness to engage in apologetics for the Gazan genocide. That, as a number of people noted, taints his legacy. and undercuts his claim to have revived the Enlightenment project for the 20th and 21st centuries. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
