From a remembrance of Habermas in German. Well worth reading, if for no other reason than because it is the first citation I have found to my new book! (To be clear, it is lesenswert for other reasons as well)

Jürgen Habermas (1929–2026) has died at 96. One of the most influential philosophers of the past century, his work reshaped debates on democracy, the public sphere, and communicative rationality. Read more about his life and thought in JÜRGEN HABERMAS
Honored to have been asked to contribute to this Traueranzeige (death notice) which ran in the FAZ and the Süddeutsche Zeitung thanking Habermas for his life and work along with so many valued colleagues and friends
V četrtek 26.3ga ob 18ih bom predstavljal svojo knjigo o Habermasu v Slovenski matici na Kongresnem trgu. Vabljeni!
V danajšnji Soboti prilogi. Moj prvenec v Delo. Kratek spomin na Jürgena Habermasa, misleca srhljivosti našega časa.
In addition to theorizing the public sphere, Jürgen Habermas was also active within it, serving as a relentless provocateur who shaped nearly every major debate in postwar German public life, @pjv.bsky.social writes.

A bit late, but here is my remembrance celebrating Habermas and his work after his passing on Saturday. He will be missed, now more than ever
One of the greatest minds and most committed democrats of the last hundred years has passed away. I was so privileged to meet him and to have been able to talk with him for over 7 hours about my book on him as a public intellectual back in June of 2024. RIP
🙏
Some shots from my first book launch for Jürgen Habermas: Public Intellectual and Engaged Critical Theorist at Leiden University in Den Haag yesterday. Thanks so much to everyone for coming!
A flyer with a discount code is attached if anyone is interested in ordering the book
Me too! So sad we won’t get to hang out afterwards
Author copies just arrived! The book officially comes out on March 24, but now I have the first printed examples in hand for my presentation in The Hague tomorrow afternoon as part of the Radical Readings of the Philosophical Canon workshop
My latest publication - this time examining how Arendt (not Habermas!) - acts as a public intellectual was just published ahead of print by Philosophy & Social Criticism. Check it out and let me know what you think!
🙏

Hi everyone, my colleague from contemporary history, Jason Resnikoff, and I are recruiting a PhD student for a position in International Union Politics.
Please send us your students interested in strikes, unions and labor politics!

I got a chance to work with the first part of Habermas's Vorlass for my forthcoming biography. Hopefully I will have the chance to look at this more recent stuff as well at some point (given that I have corresponded with him in the period covered, I think that I should be in his papers as well!)
I don't have an exact publication date yet, but my Habermas biography now has a page on the Columbia University Press website!
Working through the page proofs and creating the index for my book on Habermas as a public intellectual. This is finally becoming a reality!
🚨Publication alert!
In my new piece in JCES I link the rise of illiberal democracy in Central Europe to the republican tradition in political theory and draw on Habermas to suggest ways that the West can engage in immanent critique of these developments

Habemus operculum libri!
My book on Habermas as a public intellectual does not have a website or a publication date yet (it's looking like early 2026), but it does have a cover! Many thanks to Talal Nayer for creating the cover image for me.
Well, that’s a new one. I just got the student discount on my lunch because my server was a student in my big lecture course last year.
My latest piece on how Jürgen Habermas has rebuilt the Frankfurt School's link between theory and practice as a public intellectual is up early view in Constellations. If you are interested and have the opportunity to read the piece I would love to know what you think! #AcademicSky #PolTheory
