Jürgen Habermas bibliography

Habermas during a discussion in the Munich School of Philosophy 2008

The works of the German sociologist and philosopher Jürgen Habermas (born June 18, 1929) includes books, papers, contributions to journals, periodicals, newspapers, lectures given at conferences and seminars, reviews of works by other authors, and dialogues and speeches given in various occasions. Working in the tradition of critical theory and pragmatism. Habermas is perhaps best known for his theory on the concepts of 'communicative rationality' and the 'public sphere'. His work focuses on the foundations of social theory and epistemology, the analysis of advanced capitalistic societies and democracy, the rule of law in a critical social-evolutionary context, and contemporary politics—particularly German politics. Habermas's theoretical system is devoted to revealing the possibility of reason, emancipation, and rational-critical communication latent in modern institutions and in the human capacity to deliberate and pursue rational interests.

This list is primarily based on Mapping Habermas from German to English: A Bibliography of Primary Literature 1952-1995 edited by Demetrios Douramanis, Jürgen Habermas: A Bibliography by René Görtzen, and Luca Corchia's Jürgen Habermas. A Bibliography: Works and Studies (1952-2013), a bibliography based on direct consultation of the original editions and their translations, with their internal references; as well as research carried out by other scholars.[1]

The catalog of Habermas production includes books, collections, interviews, prefaces to later editions of his own books, papers, contributions to journals, periodicals, newspapers, lectures given at conferences and seminars, reviews of works by other authors, dialogues and speeches given in various occasions.

Furthermore, Habermas' publications are often collections of writings which have been taken and reordered chronologically in this bibliography. The chronology is determined by the publication dates of Habermas's German language books. Articles that do not appear in these books are included as works in their own right. Insofar as most of the writings collected in Habermas's books find their origin in journals, newspapers, edited books and magazines, or were delivered as lectures or discussion and occasional papers, information on their origin is given in the footnotes.
