Summary:"The ethics of dissent is developed in this book through a new interpretation of the German philosopher Jurgen Habermas's communicative ethics and political philosophy. Freedom, the right to dissent, and thoughtful critique are emphasized in the concept of negative discourse ethics. This critical perspective is integrated in a broader interpretation of Habermas's theory of communicative action and related to the classical traditions of political philosophy - represented by Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, and Rawls."--BOOK JACKET.
