Over a career spanning nearly seven decades, Jürgen Habermas - one of the most important European philosophers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries - has produced a prodigious and influential body of work. In this Lexicon, authored by an international team of scholars, over 200 entries define and explain the key concepts, categories, philosophemes, themes, debates, and names associated with the entire constellation of Habermas's thought. The entries explore the historical, philosophical and social-theoretic roots of these terms and concepts, as well as their intellectual and disciplinary contexts, to build a broad but detailed picture of the development and trajectory of Habermas as a thinker. The volume will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Habermas, as well as for other readers in political philosophy, political science, sociology, international relations, cultural studies, and law.

Fortschritt ist im gesellschaftlichen Diskurs oftmals nur als „Innovation“ oder „Wachstum“ vorstellbar. Auch Musik, Kunst und Literatur sind in weiten Bereichen gekennzeichnet durch die Wiederholung des Immergleichen, durch Nostalgie und „Retromania“ (Simon Reynolds). Werden wir von verpassten Zukünften heimgesucht, wie Mark Fisher argumentiert? Ideologisch und real werden der Zukunft durch Verknappung zeitlicher und finanzieller Ressourcen sowie fehlender Gestaltungsräume die Grundlagen entzogen. Im europäischen Begriff des Fortschritts stecken nicht zuletzt Mechanismen kolonialer und postkolonialer Herrschaft, die einen alternativlosen Weg in die „Moderne“ postulieren. Ein einfaches Anknüpfen an das Fortschrittsdenken des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts ist also nicht möglich. Wie lässt sich die Idee einer emanzipatorischen gesellschaftlichen, kulturellen und technischen Entwicklung heute denken und leben? Kann es einen Begriff von Fortschritt geben, der Ungleichzeitigkeiten zwischen Gesellschaften, kulturellen Sphären oder Wissensformen berücksichtigt?
