'Seyla Benhabib's voice is emerging as one of the most vital andimportant in contemporary social and political theory. In thiscollection of her recent articles, she articulates and defends aconception of interactive dialogical rationality and universalismthat is sensitive to recent critiques by feminists, communitariansand postmodernists. She spans Continental and Anglo-Americantraditions and has a rare ability to write lucidly and forcefullyabout complex issues. Her critical discussions of Habermas, Arendt,MacIntyre, Lyotard (and many others) are always illuminating andprovocative.'
