Habermas Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

The Politics of Difference lecture notes and commentary. I included some extra notes in bold that the lecturer highlighted and was deemed as important. For example, on page 11 I overviews Habermas, Taylor and Mahmood's views on whether people of faith can participate fully in the public sphere. This provides a clear overview of the different authors on the same them, making it easier to distinguish them. Note: I wrote this during academic year 2021-2022

Lecture notes of the course of Politics of Difference, where I provide notes as well which overview the different authors. For example, on page 11 I provide an overview of Mahmood, Habermas and Taylor on the topic of whether they think people of faith can participate fully in the public sphere. Being able to distinguish them is crucial, according to the lecturer, hence why I wrote these overviews.

My presentation about Habermas is missing but you we shared on the chat the full text of our presentation and you can always ask me to send it to you.
