Answer: Habermas and anarchism

Hello!

I was not able to find much that explicitly dealt with anarchism and Habermas or civil society. You also might want check to see if your library has the Alternative Press Index, they index articles from leftist/radical periodicals that a lot of the other databases/indexes do not cover.

If you are interested in knowing more about Habermas I found this web site with a ton of links to information about Habermas.

Here, Murray Bookchin (a social anarchist) discusses Habermas in "Finding the Subject: Notes on Whitebook and 'Habermas Ltd.'"

Here is an article that mentions Habermas in a discussion about postmodernism and anarchism.

I searched for articles and books in several different social science databases. Since I would describe Habermas as a social democrat, he does not seem to deal with anarchism very much in his writings. Here are a few articles that might be of interest to you.

*These are abstracts (a short summary of the article), so if you want the article you are probably going to have to go to a library to get them. These journals are probably going to be in academic libraries, so if you have access to one I would try there first.

I also found two books that might help with the civil society and anarchism question.

I hope that this helps

Thanks for using our service.
