Jürgen Habermas (1929–2026)
14 marca 2026 w wieku 96 lat zmarł Jürgen Habermas, wybitny niemiecki filozof i socjolog, przedstawiciel Szkoły Frankfurckiej. Już w 1983 roku ukazał się wybór pism „Teoria i praktyka” w przekładzie m.in. Małgorzaty Łukasiewicz i Zdzisława Krasnodębskiego. Wczesne lata dziewięćdziesiąte przyniosły polskie wydanie rozważań o polityce, jak „Obywatelstwo a tożsamość narodowa” (1993) w przekładzie Barbary Markiewicz. Przełomowe dzieła ukazywały się w kolejnych latach: „Racjonalność działania a racjonalność społeczna” pojawiła się po raz pierwszy w 1999 roku, a „Filozoficzny dyskurs nowoczesności” w 2000 roku.
