Jurgen Habermas Quotes

Osama bin Laden, the person, more likely serves the function of a stand-in. Compare the new terrorists with partisans or conventional terrorists in Israel. These people often fight in a decentralized manner in small, autonomous units, too Picture Quote #1

After September 11, the European governments have completely failed. They are incapable of seeing beyond their own national scope of interests Picture Quote #1

Reaching and understanding is the process of bringing about an agreement on the presupposed basis of validity claims that are mutually recognized Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The clever, albeit fragile, coalition against terrorism brought together by the U.S. government might be able to advance the transition from classical international law to a cosmopolitan order Picture Quote #1

Perhaps at a later point important developments will be traced back to September 11. But for now we do not know which of the many scenarios will actually hold in the future Picture Quote #1

The misery in war-torn Afghanistan is reminiscent of images from the Thirty Years’ War Picture Quote #1

What was new was the symbolic force of the targets struck. The attackers did not just physically cause the highest buildings in Manhattan to collapse; they also destroyed an icon in the household imagery of the American nation Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The uncertainty of the danger belongs to the essence of terrorism Picture Quote #1

I take as my fundamental starting point the fundamental distinction between work and interaction Picture Quote #1

One never really knows who one’s enemy is Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I would in fact tend to have more confidence in the outcome of a democratic decision if there was a minority that voted against it, than if it was unanimous... Social psychology has amply shown the strength of this bandwagon effect Picture Quote #1

The state is in danger of falling into disrepute due to the evidence of its inadequate resources Picture Quote #1

Some of those drawn into the holy war had been secular nationalists only a few years before. If one looks at the biographies of these people, remarkable continuities are revealed Picture Quote #1

Since our complex societies are highly susceptible to interferences and accidents, they certainly offer ideal opportunities for a prompt disruption of normal activities Picture Quote #1

Manhattan... capital of the 20th century, a city that has fascinated me for more than three decades Picture Quote #1
