Synopsis
Jürgen Habermas's thoughts and journalistic interventions have shaped important discussions in Germany and in European politics. Philosophers, politicians and journalists provide an introduction to his central ideas, putting them in a contemporary historical context. From the student unrest of the 1960s and the new social movements of the late 1970s to German reunification and Habermas's surprising move to the philosophy of religion, the documentary traces the transformation of a protagonist of Western, Soviet-critical Marxism into a mastermind of German and European democracy.With Joschka Fischer, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Gérard Raulet, Micha Brumlik, Katia Genel a.o.
