Jurgen Habermas 79 quotes

The avant-garde understands itself as invading unknown territory, exposing itself to the dangers of sudden, shocking encounters, conquering an as yet unoccupied future ... The avant-garde must find a direction in a landscape into which no one seems to have yet ventured.

'At first the expression 'post...

'At first the expression 'postmodern,' as it was applied in America during the 1950s and 1960s to literary trends that wanted to set themselves apart from works of the early modern period, was also used to merely designate new variants within the broad spectrum of late modernism. 'Postmodernism' became an emotionally loaded outright political battle cry only in the 1970s, when two opposing camps seized the expression: on the one side the NEOCONSERVATIVES, who wanted to get rid of the supposedly subversive contents of a 'hostile culture' in favor of revived traditions; and on the other side the radical CRITICS OF GROWTH for whom the ... New Architecture had become a symbol for the destruction produced by modernization.' (Pg. 4)

If the September 11 terror attack is supposed to constitute a caesura in world history, it must be able to stand comparison to other events of world historical impact.

From a moral point of view, there is no excuse for terrorist acts, regardless of the motive or the situation under which they are carried out.

I take as my fundamental starting point the fundamental distinction between work and interaction

Jurgen Habermas 79 quotes

A threatened nation can react ...

A threatened nation can react to uncertain dangers solely through administrative channels, to the truly embarrassing situation of perhaps overreacting

Jurgen Habermas 79 quotes

I cannot imagine a context that would some day, in some manner, make the monstrous crime of September 11 an understandable or comprehensible political act

Jurgen Habermas 79 quotes

The state is in danger of falling into disrepute due to the evidence of its inadequate resources.

Jurgen Habermas 79 quotes

Perhaps September 11 could be called the first historic world event in the strictest sense: the impact, the explosion, the slow collapse - a gruesome reality literally took place in front of a global public.

Jurgen Habermas 79 quotes

Instead of the international police action we had hoped for during the war in Kosovo, there are wars again - conducted with state-of-the-art technology, but still in the old style

Disappointment over nationalistic authoritarian regimes may have contributed to the fact that today religion offers a new and subjectively more convincing language for old political orientations.

Jurgen Habermas 79 quotes

Today's Islamic fundamentalism is also a cover for political motifs. We should not overlook the political motifs we encounter in forms of religious fanaticism
