Summary:	Habermas on Law and Democracy: Critical Exchanges provides a provocative debate between Jurgen Habermas and a wide range of his critics on Habermas's contribution to legal and democratic theory in his recently published Between Facts and Norms. The final essay of this volume is a thorough and lengthy reply by Habermas that not only joins issue with the most important arguments raised throughout the preceding essays but also further refines some of the key contributions made by Habermas in Between Facts and Norms. This volume will be essential reading for philosophers, legal scholars, and political and social theorists concerned with understanding the work of one of the leading philosophers of our age.
